It all started with the idea of collecting the stories before they are lost to us forever. Recording oral histories as part of the preservation of our rich Old Brooklyn heritage was made possible by a grant from Neighborhood Connections. You can learn about the oral history project that resulted in Speaking of Old Brooklyn... at Old Brooklyn Connected: "Senior to Senior - Preserving Our community History."
