Subject:  New Virtual Exhibit

The Archivists Round Table of Metropolitan New York is pleased to announce the
launch of its virtual exhibit, "From the Seaport to Silicon Alley: A History of
Technology in NYC, 1820-2000".  The exhibit has been in the making for nearly a
year, and has been launched to coincide with NYART's celebration of Archives
Week 2000.

This exhibit highlights nineteenth- and twentieth-century technological
innovations developed and uniquely applied by institutions in the New York
metropolitan area, which have had a profound impact on people's lives or on
industry locally, nationally, and internationally.

By tapping the rich archival resources in the New York City area, we have
highlighted some of the major technological innovations using prints,
lithographs, drawings, and photographs. The exhibit includes approximately 60
images collected from 26 different archival repositories throughout the
metropolitan area. The materials are arranged into six major categories, which
include communications/media, engineering, finance, medicine/scientific
research, transportation, and utilities.

Please visit the exhibit at:

In addition, the Round Table's web site continues to add new materials and
information:
