ABOUT THIS COLLECTION

This collection includes research materials, oral histories, and photographs collected through the West Indian Carnival Documentation Project, undertaken by Brooklyn Historical Society in the mid-1990s. The project attempted to supplement existing scholarship with oral histories done with members of the West Indian community and Carnival participants.

The oral histories were processed and described with funding from The Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation and as part of the projects, ‘Voices of Generations: Investigating Brooklyn’s Cultural Identity,’ funded by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) and ‘Voices of Crown Heights,’ funded by New York Community Trust.
