| Abstract:
|
The origins of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences extend back to 1823, with
the founding of the Brooklyn Apprentices' Library. In 1890, the Institute was renamed
the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences in reflection of an ambitious new initiative
to expand its programming through the development of several divisions devoted to
the arts and sciences. Between 1890 and 1911, four new divisions were established,
including the Brooklyn Museum, the Brooklyn Children's Museum, the Brooklyn Botanic
Garden, and the Biological Laboratory at Cold Spring Harbor in Long Island. In 1936,
the Institute absorbed Brooklyn's premier performing arts center, the Brooklyn Academy
of Music, which had been founded in 1859. In the 1970s, the Brooklyn Children's Museum,
the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and the Brooklyn Academy of Music all became independent
entities separate from the Institute. The Institute's name was later officially changed
to the Brooklyn Museum. The Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences publications and
ephemera span the period 1877 to 1998, with the bulk of the material dating from 1904
to 1986, and document the activities of the general Institute along with several of
its divisions, including the Brooklyn Museum, the Brooklyn Children's Museum, the
Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Items mainly consist of
annual reports and news publications, though additional ephemeral material is included.
