Thanks to all who made it to the archives today. I know that for many of you the weather made it difficult to get there. All the groups but one were represented, so hopefully you can get the information you need from your groupmates. Ann Marie and Kiki, David Ment is expecting to hear from you to set up a time to visit. His email address is dment@records.nyc.gov
As those of you who were there saw, you really need to dig around a little to see what’s there, and David knows an amazing amount of information about what may or may not be available. He also realized while talking to Ashley-Mei that he forgot to mention another important resource for more recent history, and that is the municipal library housed in the same location as the archives. The library can be searched online through the library’s website:
Here is the search engine:
David also recommended that you contact Julia Robbins, the Assistant Librarian, who can probably help direct you. jrobbins@records.nyc.gov
He said that you should mention that you have begun working on this project in the archives and that he recommended you also contact her.
Also, please feel free to contact me if you have additional questions.
