| The City Neighbors Project brings curators, librarians, historians and folklorists together with members of the community to tell the story of Albany’s diverse past. Components of the project include collecting oral histories; conducting scholarly research; adding objects, photographs and research materials to the museum and library collections; and reaching new audiences through exhibitions, education programs and special events. Traveling versions of City Neighbors: An Albany Community Album, documenting the Black American, Jewish, Irish and Italian experiences in Albany, circulate throughout the community in public spaces including schools, libraries, community centers, synagogues, corporate lobbies and government buildings. | |
| In addition, special exhibitions, which explore related topics, provide continuity and enrichment for the project. And throughout the year, the AIHA offers multi-generational education programs, ranging from lectures and discussion groups to films and walking tours, on subjects related to this project and topics of related interest. |
