Prospect Heights History

Hey guys,

I'm looking to compile a brief history of Prospect Heights (demographics, class shifts, food culture, etc.) minus Wackipedia. Can any point me in the right direction? Anyone I should holla at?

How far back?

I'm pretty sure the census lets one look at the data it collects from prior periods.

You should check out the Public Library @ Grand Army Plaza. On the second floor, they have a whole section devoted to the history of Brooklyn.

The historical society is also a good spot, but they charge for admission.
