The New York Public Library was founded in 1895 and is the nation’s largest public library system. The one we will be visiting is the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building in Midtown manhattan. They have a large variety of special collections material, but we will focus on maps in the brooklyn area. The maps being viewed will range as early as 1776, to late 1980’s. I would like to find at least two primary sources that related to an early time period of Brooklyn.
