The Packer Collegiate Institute was incorporated in 1845 as the Brooklyn Female Academy, an institution devoted solely to female education. After the destruction of its original building in 1853, the Academy reopened in 1854 as the Packer Collegiate Institute, named after former Academy trustee William S. Packer. Packer became a coeducational institution in 1972, and remains one of Brooklyn's most well-known private schools. The Packer Collegiate Institute collection spans the period 1846 to 2002 and contains school publications and ephemera documenting Packer's history and programs.
