About the author
Founded in 1804, the New-York Historical Society—now known as New York Historical—is a museum and research library on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. Its mission centers on preserving and interpreting the history of New York and the United States through exhibitions, scholarship, and public programs.
The institution is especially known for pairing art, artifacts, manuscripts, photographs, and books with accessible storytelling. Its collections span centuries of American life, and its exhibitions often connect New York’s local past with larger national themes.
Today, New York Historical presents itself as a place to experience roughly 400 years of history through exhibitions, films, conversations, and educational programming. Because this is an institution rather than an individual author, no single portrait image is appropriate here.
