GothamED Directory

New York City History Programs and Services for Teachers and Students K-12

The GothamED Directory is designed to help educators and students locate resources that enhance the study of New York City history. The directory includes a wide range of institutions from libraries and archives to museums, parks, and historic houses.

Many of these organizations are exclusively focused on interpreting New York City history; others have interdisciplinary missions in diverse subject areas. The guide is organized to highlight programs and resources specific to New York City history. Please remember that many institutions hold resources beyond the NYC-oriented offerings described here.

Please note: All information, both historical and programmatic, was provided and approved by each organization.

Programs change frequently. It is advisable to contact organizations directly for the most up-to-date information before planning a visit.
