We had so much fun hosting show-and-tells last week for our colleagues in the @nypl communications dept. & the incoming class of @CullmanNYPL. Sharing some of the meaningful stories behind our collections is one of the best parts of the job!
Manuscripts curator @JulieThePH recently used the Brown Brothers & Company ledgers to discuss how 19th century banking firms financed southern slavery and fueled the growing global textile economy. The collection of Brown Brothers ledgers is available on Digital Collections.
