A good resource for Queens history is the Queens Borough Public Library, Long Island Division, Local History Collection http://www.queenslibrary.org/central/longisland/ If you are interested in doing research on the 1970s and 1980s, the the LaGuardia and Wagner Archives (where I work) has the papers of the Forest Hill Community House (a settlement house).
