Dear NY Historian, An eFriend has sought my help in " ... trying to locate any pix, drawing, facsimile of the City of Brooklyn's flag (1838-98)." My eFriend further writes, "The Bklyn Borough pres, H. Golden's office sends only "borough" of Bklyn stuff ... The Bklyn Historial Society is CLOSED until 2004 ... NY Historical Society dismisses request & refers it to Bklyn Public Library (Grand Army Plaza) and BPLibrary claims research files OPEN by walk-ins only, (I live 1500 miles away in Fla)." Any thoughts on this will be much appreciated. Thanks. Walter Greenspan
