Map of Massachusetts Bay Colony

This section of the library includes books and articles about New England’s people, history and culture, and their connections to Brooklyn and New York. The list has been compiled by members of the Society who have an interest in the subject as a scholarly topic and who plan to make updates, even at the risk of making it unwieldy. Users can search the bibliography using the box above the table.

Additions to this list may be proposed to the Secretary. We hope it can be useful to thinkers, writers, and scholars.
