Department of Records unveils a treasure trove of historical photos and data > Date: April 25, 2012 9:05:30 PM EDT > To: BronxRoots <bronxroots@rootsweb.com> > Reply-To: bronxroots@rootsweb.com > > The New York City Department of Records is placing 160 years worth of New York City history online. Of particular interest to some people on this list will be tax records, which include photographs of every building from 1939 to 1941 and again in the 1980s. Also available shortly will be estate and farm maps, many details on construction projects as well as motion pictures and audio recordings from the city's archives. > Much material has been uploaded, however, due to such an immediate demand the site has already crashed. Maintenance is underway to add additional support. > The website is: http://www.nyc.gov/html/records/home.html > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to BRONXROOTS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
