In an effort to get the word out about our events, exhibits, and educational programs, (and to better connect to today’s diverse communities), BHS started “tweeting” on twitter.com a bit over a week ago. In that short time, we have amassed over 100 followers! (Those are people who are signed up to see our updates.) It’s great to see so much interest in BHS on the internets.

If you’re a bit of a technophobe or just not into twitter, don’t worry. You don’t have to sign up to see this up-to-the-minute reporting of what’s going on at BHS. Just go to http://twitter.com/brooklynhistory and you’ll see our updates. If you are on twitter, please follow us @brooklynhistory. Our next goal is to have as many followers as we are years old (146).

Welcome!

The Brooklyn Historical Society began our Oral History Program in 2006 to collect important audio documents: primary sources about people, ideas, and events that make up the history of 21st century Brooklyn.

In December 2007, we opened our Oral History Gallery with the exhibit In Our Own Words: Portraits of Brooklyn’s Vietnam Veterans.

Come visit!

We’re located in Brooklyn Heights, an historic landmarked district, in a building designed by architect George B. Post and completed in 1881. We’re down the street from Borough Hall (and the Borough Hall Farmers’ Market on Tuesdays and Thursdays) and the Brooklyn Heights Promenade along the East River and not far at all from the Fulton Mall.
