Neighborhood Stories is a storytelling initiative by the NYC Department of Records, which aims to gather and permanently preserve the stories of New York City community members. This project aims to “put the community in the archive” by empowering local residents to provide their own rich historical narrative, and encouraging them to reflect on how the past connects to their lives, their families and their future.
