Collection Description
Brooklyn Public Library's online catalog contains a selection of more than ten thousand historic photographs from the Brooklyn Collection.

The major categories of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle photographs in the catalog include Bridges, Churches, Coney Island, Neighborhoods, Parks, Schools and the Eagle itself.
Other collections created by amateur and professional photographers concentrate on particular areas, ethnic groups or activities.
