I am a big fan of libraries and archives. I've engaged with their people and material resources to complete a variety of projects. An example is the online tree map of Washington Square Park. I met with the manager of NYC Parks' Map Archives in Queens to explore their paper map holdings. Another example is an essay I wrote about the Next Epoch Seed Library published by Urban Omnibus. I interviewed the founders Ellie Irons and Anne Percoco and participating in in a couple of their workshops.
Today - and this post will be updated as new resources are discovered - I share for the record, documentary resources (excluding books) pertaining to Washington Square Park, including Minetta Brook. Please indicate omissions in the comments section.
