Natick Historical Town Meeting Research Set

This folder contains derived Markdown research notes from the Natick Moderator / Finance Committee working-file history. Source folders are treated as read-only and are not copied into this repository.

Scope: Natick only. Other towns adopting the toolkit should provide their own read-only body of past meeting files so the toolkit can build a comparable local history.

Source Policy

  • Source folders remain outside the repository.
  • Generated notes are research drafts and should be checked against source files before floor use.
  • Natick traditions and moderator expectations should not be applied to another town without that town's own historical evidence and rules.
