Established in 1977, the New York City Department of Records and Information Services (DORIS) preserves and provides public access to historical and contemporary records and information about New York City government. We operate the Municipal Archives, the Municipal Library, and the Records Center.
The New York City Municipal Archives has millions of photographs, motion pictures, audio recordings, maps, architectural drawings and other visual materials documenting the history of New York City. Dating from 1947 through 1996, the moving image portion of the WNYC collection includes mayoral press conferences, national and international dignitaries visiting City Hall, luminaries from the worlds of culture, science and art; government operations; City Council and Police and Fire Department activities. Rare, unseen footage of New York City in the 1950s, plus important city events over three decades--rallies, riots, ocean liners, parades, and the World's Fair are a few highlights.

I LOVED IT BACK THAN...NOW THE CULTURE Rip😢
Brooklyn Zoo RIP Ol' Dirty
It is when Harlem was Harlem! Now these white people are here they act like we don’t even belong here now! SMH
I really miss old Harlem! This new harem has been take over by implant blacks and whites! It’s so white washed now!
I have heard the story on many formats and the photos would be wonderful if you hadn't screwed them up with 3D technology what are you thinking anyway
In Sherwood like to see these pictures without being screwed up by the 3D crap
Notice how much thinner people were, and no ones looking down at a bloody phone too.
Boring as hell.
insane
Y’all peeped at 2:54 somebody threw something at dude in the blue jacket 😂
Shout out to the camera man for traveling back in time to capture these moments
What a great video. Excellent presentation by Matt. Appreciation from an architectural buff from Tennessee. Thanks !!
I've been meaning to say this for years... this is NOT 1981 (only logical date to assume from the description) it's 1986, *perhaps* 1985, but definitely not earlier than that.
Thank you! For me this was more helpful than Ken Burns doc in that it is succinct. It held my attention better and got to the points I was more interested in knowing.
I miss this NYC. I visited Harlem in 1998, a week in the summer, I was 21 years old from London and went to the Empire State Building and tried to not sound nervous when I asked one of the female attendants out on a date that night. It’s 27 years later and I’ve been a permanent resident of NYC since 2011. This is home but having been here a awhile, it’s all too easy to forget what this city used to feel like in a different time where even 2 square blocks felt like a huge distance to cross after midnight when you’ve been out having fun with friends. We got stopped by the cops daily, sometimes multiple times because in 1998 the 3 white dudes in Harlem are there to buy drugs of course. I’ll never forget the look on one cops face in the patrol car one of the days they stopped us and their comical reactions when we spoke in our London accents and told them we were fine and just on holiday for the week staying with a friend. I miss those days I really do. I miss when chatting to strangers in a bar felt like a true new connection. The art or connection is being lost through our ever persistent connection to things that don’t even feel real. I guess I must be getting old as the more I look back the more I am nostalgic for that past VS what we have in this present, but things meant so much more and things took much longer. I wish we could easily recapture what that feeling was today.
I love seeing older footage 😊
This was a great presentation.
Dude in the bike was a lookout for the police lmaoo 😂 camera man almost got kidnapped
Great video quality! Thank you! Missing BedSty ❤
10 mins into the video you can hear an adhaan (Islamic call to prayer). As a Muslim, I was quick to notice that. So this neighborhood in Brooklyn must be populated by many Muslims.
Von wem ist der geniale Song ab ca. 49.00?
Wish I could go back to the 50s and 60s in Harlem. Those are the only years I remember Harlem as the good old days.
How do I find out if my brother is there...he passed this year in august and was supposed to be sent there
R u that stupid to answer someone like that😂@@isocarboxazid
first thing's first: get a spade
I'm related to James S T Stranahan one of the politicians involved in the building of the bridge as well as the creation of Coney island and prospect park
November 16th of that year marked my 5th birthday! I was born in what was then called NORTH CENTRAL HOSPITAL. Grew up on Haviland Avenue, just a few blocks south of Parkchester. Around the time this tape was being shot, I was starting my educational years at P.S. 119. Ah, good memories...❤
This is similar to my Jackson Heights 1991 video.
Just listened to this past weekend podcast by Theo vonn. Very interesting hearing about a "sanitation engineer" that worked for and retired after 20 years. Great money for sure!
I will have to check this one out.
The company I work for builds those tires in Chattanooga TN.
Wow, some of these people are still alive,, some has passed on by now,, like my mom and dad,,, I was hoping to see them,,, we lived in the area,, always went this way to pay bills,,, I wish these days would come back🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I don’t think this is the 80s. I was born in the 80s. A lot of the stores I see here are stores I saw as a kid in the early 1990s.
They are building a condo at slave theater now. 2023
Born in bedstuy
3:20 legendary place iykyk 😂
I feel like you definitely don’t know
@@NiKiMa023 how the fck do u know?
Saw Otis Redding in the old Brevoort theater. Don't forget also the Bango and Regent theaters also.
Camera man is terrible smh
The Stuy was a place to avoid.
Funny how theres a Bedford avenue in so many hoods in so many cities. Who was Bedford and why so many hood avenues named after him? And why we don't say it correctly? It just comes out "behferd" when Black People say it.
the slave that was good to see rest in power to the judge who owned that place
Back then people didn’t mind being on camera
9:38 I still see black Muslims on that corner
Ansaars
Before corny behavior became the norm in our black communities.
#Brooklyn
The real Brooklyn…before it was gentrified 😢
The last times of New York, the real New York.. I left in 99 and have never been so ashamed, embarrassed, and disappointed in the "progressive" lawless shi#hole its become
Back then,the generations were visible, now I can't tell who's Who 🤷🏾♂️
Before People Was Buried In Their Cellphones....
One thing I remember about the 90s was the noise. The gentrifiers wouldn't have put their foot in this territory back then.
This has to be the worst camera man ever
This video is for those who claimed to live there the whole time. I wish these people can go in to the gentrifiers community they came from and receive the same love....m
These were the best time in New York . Always was rough but still a great place to be😊 good days
