In 2017 Brooklyn College alum Everett Hughes donated this collection, which focuses on the borough of Brooklyn, in gratitude to the "place that first stimulated my interest in real learning." Approximately half the collection is currently online. As of June 2022 the remainder are being processed. To view all the available sub-collections, scroll down in the window on the right.
