The Bronx is beautiful and we love looking at old pictures of our borough as much as you do and thanks to the New York Public Library we can do just that.

With the NYPL Digital Collections, I tend to get lost for hours at a time while researching images for stories both current events and historical ones.

All the images  are from the Irma and Paul Milstein Division of United States History, Local History and Genealogy, The New York Public Library. The New York Public Library Digital Collections. 1887 – 1964.
