We wanted to highlight the maps, photographs and ephemera in our incredible collection - which has become even incredible since we merged with the Library... The idea was to envelop all of the neighborhoods of Brooklyn. We divided the borough into six regions: East, South, Central, North, Northwest and Southwest. Each has an introduction describing its character and history, and there's photography throughout.
We held scanning parties at many library branches... We wanted a wide range of people to tell us what Brooklyn means to them. It's their stories that make the exhibit so special.
