NYC Dept. of Records - archive online and reachable

Dear Reader,

We love history and archives at diablog.

And now another one went online.

The NYC Department of Records is publishing its archive. What a gem!

Pete will love the photos and Glynsky might be reminded of his many visits to NYC. Me, I just love it! So far I have been unable to pick mouth watering photos, there are just too many to post here.

Enjoy "old New York",
