Voices of Brooklyn oral histories: Our neighbors
2007 - present (2008.031)
ABOUT THIS COLLECTION
This series includes oral histories collected through several projects undertaken by the Brooklyn Historical Society beginning in 2007. The assembled collection took shape in 2008 under the project title “Brooklyn History Makers.” The ongoing oral history collection, retitled in 2016, features a diverse range of narrators; all longtime neighborhood residents who describe the changes they have observed in their neighborhoods over decades.
This collection was processed and described as part of the project, ‘Voices of Generations: Investigating Brooklyn’s Cultural Identity,’ funded by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) and The Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation.
