Are you a history buff? Do you have Queens, Long Island, or Brooklyn pride? In 2012, we’ll be celebrating the centennial of the Archives at Queens Library, a division of the library dedicated to preserving the history of the four counties of Long Island: Nassau, Suffolk, Queens, and Kings (Brooklyn). The photo above (of boys on an outing in Flushing, circa 1905) is one sample of our collection’s 75,000 items, which are available for the public to view at Central Library. So come visit us!
