NYC Department of Records and Information Services

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'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.

    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.

    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.

    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...❤
