The NYC department of records, to their eternal glory, has digitized hundreds of historic videos and audio recordings from @WNYC’s history since 1937. Anyone who is an NYC-phile needs to get into this STAT. https://t.co/t8NhhhL5Qe

Mrs Hilton’s Creche and Home accommodated around 100 babies and toddlers at 12-16 Stepney Causeway so that parents could both go to work. It was one of the first such facilities, opening in c. 1870 and cost 1d a day

My greatest NYC artifact find is “sonnets for my city” by economist and housing reformer Arthur C. Holden. We’re talking 100s of poems devoted to zoning, tax assessment, budgeting, finance, and much more. And yes, I own a copy ;)
