The East Village History Project,
a non-profit organization, was started
by a volunteer group of native and veteran
New York/Lower East Siders who are active
community members and passionate historians.
Our mission is to document as much of
our neighborhood's great history as accurately
as possible and make this data available
to the public free of charge.
Our goal is to raise the public's awareness
of the East Village/Lower East Side's
historic significance and influence in
world history.
The Project has been collecting important
data since 2001, and countless students,
journalists, media outlets and history
junkies continue to utilize our information.
