Brooklyn Historical Society is excited to announce it is now the Center for Brooklyn History at Brooklyn Public Library. By combining these institutions, the Center for Brooklyn History (CBH) becomes the most expansive collection of Brooklyn history in the world. Established in 1863, the Center for Brooklyn History (http://brooklynhistory.org/) is a nationally recognized urban history center dedicated to preserving and encouraging the study of Brooklyn's extraordinary 400-year history. CBH offers a wide array of public programming that celebrates the diversity of Brooklyn's past and present and takes a close look at where the borough is headed. With panel discussions with Brooklyn luminaries, screenings of classic and groundbreaking films, thought-provoking talks on Brooklyn's history from new perspectives, and more, BHS has something for everyone. CBH films as many of its programs as possible and makes them available for the public to view online. Enjoy!
