arts and crafts BPL Presents Center for Brooklyn History

We supply images of historic Brooklyn maps. You bring your creative touch! 

 
Join us for an evening of conversation and collage-making inspired by the Center for Brooklyn History’s incomparable Brooklyn map collection. 
We’ll have copies of some of our favorite Brooklyn maps dating as far back as the 16th century and culled from the 1,900 items in CBH’s map collection. 
Leave with your collage masterpiece and a new appreciation of Brooklyn cartography!
