The newly-formed Center for Brooklyn History is an exciting collaboration
between Brooklyn Historical Society and Brooklyn Public Library, combining
materials collected over the past 157 years with BPL’s Brooklyn Collection and
becoming the most expansive catalogue of Brooklyn history in the world. 

The Center for Brooklyn History (CBH) is housed at 128 Pierrepont Street, in the
magnificent landmark building designed by George B. Post that was home to
Brooklyn Historical Society, and the Long Island Historical Society before it,
for nearly 140 years. While its home is on Pierrepont Street, CBH extends its
collection and programming to reach every branch in BPL’s 60+ library system.
CBH will democratize access to Brooklyn’s history and be dedicated to expanding
and diversifying representation of the history of the borough by unifying
resources and expertise, and broadening reach and impact. The Center for
Brooklyn History will expand the organizations’ virtual public program offerings
and launch new digital offerings, provide access to the combined digital
archives and continue growing the collections, including both institutions’
collections of oral histories, documents, and artifacts related to Brooklynites’
experiences during COVID. 

While CBH is currently open by appointment only, preparations are in the works
to fully reopen our facility to scholars, researchers, students and the public,
all free of charge. We look forward to welcoming you to dig into our combined
collections, enjoy in-person programming and exhibitions, and visit our
more publicly accessible building, with areas for reading and studying, and
expanded hours of operation.
