Celebrating 10 Years of the Queens Memory Project
Story
To celebrate our 10 year anniversary, we're revisiting highlights collected from different neighborhoods as part of the Queens Memory project. We began collecting oral history interviews and photos in the summer of 2010. Later that year, a grant from the Metro Library Council launched the project as a partnership between Queens Public Library and Queens College, CUNY. Since then we've recorded hundreds of oral history interviews and collected photographs from Queens residents from 23 countries of origin, living in 50 neighborhoods.
