The New-York Historical Society, one of America’s preeminent cultural institutions, is dedicated to fostering research, presenting history and art exhibitions, and offering public programs that reveal the dynamism of the City’s history and its influence on the world.  The Open House will be hosted by Vice President and Director, Michael T. Ryan, accompanied by fellow archivists and curators after hours in the Patricia D. Klingenstein Library of the New-York Historical Society.
