The Greater New York Centennial

In honor of the 100th Anniversary of Greater New York in 1998, the directors of the seven major historical institutions of New York City met to discuss their perspective on the city at a conference sponsored by The Bronx County Historical Society and the Institute for Applied Philosophy at the College of Mt. St. Vincent. The proceedings of this conference, edited by Elizabeth Beirne, along with thirty-eight magnificent paintings by noted New York artist Jan Munro were published in this volume. The essays in this publication furnish a rich and intricate view of New York City over the past one hundred years.
