Our Streets, Our Stories by Brooklyn Public Library is an oral history project of the Brooklyn Public Library’s Department of Outreach Services that seeks to explore the Brooklyn that is, and the Brooklyn that was, from the words of the community that lives there. The project aims to actively collect a broad range of stories from our diverse neighborhoods, so that future generations may better understand the history of the borough.
