Thursday, December 9, 6:30 p.m.
Museum of the City of New York
1220 Fifth Avenue at 103rd Street
Celebrate the release of the second edition of the award-winning Encyclopedia of New York City (Yale University Press, 2010). The first edition of this monumental reference volume quickly became a gold standard for information about the city. Today, 15 years after its release, the Encyclopedia has been updated with most of its articles significantly revised and 800 new entries, from Air-Train to E-Z Pass, from September 11 to public order.
Join the book’s editor Kenneth T. Jackson, Jacques Barzun Professor of History at Columbia University, for a discussion of the innovations in the new edition, followed by a reception to help launch the book.
A great holiday gift, the Encyclopedia will be available at special holiday discount for all attendees.
Reservations required: 917-492-3395 or e-mail programs@mcny.org.
Price: $6 when you mention H-Net
The Museum would love to welcome the H-net community to join us for this event. Hope to see y’all there!
