About Brooklyn Historical Society and The Othmer Library
BHS' Othmer Library and archives house the most comprehensive col­lection of Brooklyn-related materials in the world.

Today the collection includes more than 100,000 books and pamphlets, 60,000 photographs and prints, 2,000 feet of archival collections, and more than 2,000 maps and atlases.
