Brooklyn Visual Heritage is like a big picture book that tells stories about different parts of Brooklyn from a long time ago until now. Imagine you're trying to learn about your neighborhood, and your neighborhood is a big city with lots of different places and people. Someone made a big book with lots of pictures and stories about your neighborhood, so you can learn about how it used to look a long time ago, how people lived, how they worked, and how things have changed over time. Brooklyn Visual Heritage is like that, but for the whole borough of Brooklyn. It helps people understand the history and the culture of Brooklyn by showing them pictures and stories from different neighborhoods and time periods.
