Join us each month for our Lunch and Learn Series – an intimate conversation with agency staff and special guests on the collections of the Municipal Archives and Library, as well as the history of New York City.

This month, Matt Minor will take us on a visual journey to explore the history and design of the Hall of Records at 31 Chambers Street in Manhattan – home to the Municipal Archives and Library, as well as the Manhattan Surrogate’s Court.
