The City on Record is a celebration of 400 years of New York City history, told through city government’s records. The records in the exhibit include founding documents, visual and written accounts of notable moments in the city's history, and documentation of everyday life in New York City. The exhibit explores three questions: Who is a New Yorker? How was NYC built? What Makes NYC, NYC? The goal of the exhibit is to help us understand the city's past and plan for a better future.
