On September 29th, Bowne House Historical Society of Flushing, Queens received a substantial grant from the New York Preservation Archive Project in a ceremony on the Bowne House grounds. This grant, part of NYPAP’s Shelby White & Leon Levy Archival Assistance Initiative, will allow Bowne House Historical Society to digitize and share its rich archival collections, which chronicle nine generations of one New York City family from the 17th to the 20th centuries.
The Leon Levy Foundation website features the Bowne House press release announcing the substantial grant to the museum made possible by the Foundation through the New York Preservation Archive Project.
