The Brooklyn Collegiate and Polytechnic Institute was founded in 1854 as Brooklyn's first all-boys school. In 1890, the Institute's collegiate and preparatory programs were separated into two different schools, the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn and the Brooklyn Preparatory School (later the Polytechnic Preparatory Country Day School). The Brooklyn Collegiate and Polytechnic Institute collection spans the period 1855 to 1981 and contains annual reports, catalogs, yearbooks, journals, periodicals, and printed ephemera documenting the activities of the original Institute as well as its two outgrowth institutions.
