Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences publications and ephemera Bulk, 1904-1986 1877-1998

The origins of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences extend back to 1823, with the founding of the Brooklyn Apprentices' Library. In 1890, the Institute was renamed the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences in reflection of an ambitious new initiative to expand its programming through the development of several divisions devoted to the arts and sciences. Between 1890 and 1911, four new divisions were established, including the Brooklyn Museum, the Brooklyn Children's Museum, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and the Biological Laboratory at Cold Spring Harbor in Long Island. In 1936, the Institute absorbed Brooklyn's premier performing arts center, the Brooklyn Academy of Music, which had been founded in 1859. In the 1970s, the Brooklyn Children's Museum, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and the Brooklyn Academy of Music all became independent entities separate from the Institute. The Institute's name was later officially changed to the Brooklyn Museum. The Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences publications and ephemera span the period 1877 to 1998, with the bulk of the material dating from 1904 to 1986, and document the activities of the general Institute along with several of its divisions, including the Brooklyn Museum, the Brooklyn Children's Museum, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Items mainly consist of annual reports and news publications, though additional ephemeral material is included.
