The Queens Memory Project is our record of how we got here, who we are, and what we want from our future.
Queens Name Explorer
The Queens Memory team introduces the Queens Name Explorer initiative, featuring an interactive map with the biographical details of individuals whose names grace Queens’ streets, schools, buildings, parks, monuments, and other public places. Enormous thanks to our technology partners, Urban Archive and to the Mellon Foundation whose funding made this project possible.
Ralph McDaniels Oral History
Ralph McDaniels talks about how the show "Video Music Box" evolved from the original show "Studio 31 Dance Party", and how it went from a night show to an afternoon show targeted toward teens after school.
