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.

A large number of the volumes listed here are available to read online for free at the Internet Archive, denoted by the symbol in the right-hand column and the “Read online” link. At the archive, books published before 1923 are available for download; some newer books require the creation of a free account.
Additional titles can be found at the Hathi Trust or Project Gutenberg; the remainder can be found on Amazon.com, or via the publisher’s website.
