Library Collections Highlights

Melish CollectionCollection Highlights
John D. Morrell, Assistant Librarian at the Long Island Historical Society, now the Brooklyn Historical Society, donated over 2,000 black and white and color negatives and prints to the Photography Collection. The images document Brooklyn's streets, railroads, buildings and people in almost every neighborhood, but predominantly in Brooklyn Heights, Bath Beach, Flatbush, Carroll Gardens and Downtown Brooklyn from 1958-1963. They are indexed in detail by address, street name, and/or neighborhood, and sometimes include proper names of businesses or institutions.

BHS launches new digital exhibition- An American Family Grows in Brooklyn: The Lefferts Family Papers. More.
