THE NEW YORK CITY HISTORY FESTIVAL
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
Mark your calendars! The Gotham Center for NYC History is organizing the
first New York History Festival for the week of October 7th - 14th, 2001
and we'd like you to be part of it!
"We" are a coalition of history makers- museums and historical
societies, colleges and libraries, archivists and preservationists,
buffs and scholars determined to celebrate New York City's magnificent
historical legacy.
The Festival will consist of two parts. The Kick-Off Conference, held at
the Gotham Center of CUNY, will bring together academics and public
historians for panels and presentations highlighting their work and
research. This will be followed by the Festival Week.
THE FESTIVAL WEEK
The Festival Week will be composed of public events held throughout the
city at cultural institutions, community centers, schools- anywhere
history is being done and our city's heritage explored.
We want to encourage all organizations to highlight activities in their
own neighborhoods that will be open to the public during Festival Week-
exhibits, lectures, collection of oral histories, murals, school
programs- anything having to do with New York City history. Simply
complete the Festival Participation Form. The Gotham Center will
publicize all appropriate events on our website. Let's let the world
know what wonderful resources abound for the study of history in our
city!
