Counter/Culture Extended

Written by Sady on February 6th, 2009

The rumors are true!  We’re extending the Public Perspectives exhibition Counter/Culture: The Disappearing Face of Brooklyn’s Storefronts.  If you haven’t yet seen Karla and Jim Murray’s photographs of mom & pop shops in Brooklyn or their gorgeous new book Storefront: The Disappearing Face of New York, make the time to visit, it’s really great.  Jim and Karla also photo-document grafitti in their book Burning New York and that’s how they fell into the Storefront project.  You can hear them talk about their work on the BHS podcast (also on iTunes).

This Is Neat

Written by Sady on November 24th, 2008

The Oral History Association launched a new website and an Oral History Resources Wiki.

And the Center for History and New Media has a new book and website: Digital History: A Guide to Gathering, Preserving, and Presenting the Past on the Web.

One of our goals at BHS is to make our oral history collections more accessible via the web and podcast.  If you haven’t yet listened to what we have up there, download a few things and let us know what you think.

Cinema of the Vietnam War

Written by Sady on October 20th, 2008

Tomorrow at 6:30pm we’ll be screening Thanh’s War, the fourth in the series Cinema of the Vietnam War we’ve been co-hosting with Brooklyn For Peace.  Moss Roberts, Professor of East Asian Studies at NYU will be leading the discussion following the film.

These film discussions have been really great.  At the last one, Brooklynite and former Congressmember Elizabeth Holtzman talked about Constitutional war-making powers and how things haven’t been the same since Nixon’s secret bombing of Cambodia.

You can listen to the converstation through our podcast on iTunes (search the iTunes store for Brooklyn Historical Society).
