| Abstract:
|
This collection comprises the subject files of the Downtown Brooklyn Development Association.
The association was founded in 1929 as a civic group concerned with the problems of
the business and shopping center in downtown Brooklyn. The papers are news clippings,
correspondence, brochures, newsletters, pamphlets, legislative documents, photographs,
city plans and maps, and other items relating to organizations and causes with which
the association was involved. The majority of the documents were produced by external
bodies or individuals but were integral the association's activities. The three subjects
most comprehensively addressed are the development of the Brooklyn Civic Center (Cadman
Plaza), the redevelopment of Fulton Street, and traffic and transportation.
