Each month, the Bowne House Archives will feature a recently digitized document from our collection. These documents may illuminate the lives of individual members of the Bowne family, or other important figures within their social circle. Others offer a glimpse of significant historical events or eras through the eyes of an individual diarist or letter-writer. Finally, photos, maps, or ephemera may be featured for their aesthetic appeal or documentary value. We invite readers to take a closer look at our monthly selections and open windows onto the past.
