(Images from the New York City Municipal Archives)
In 1943, when the WPA ceased operation, the Municipal Archives acquired the manuscript records of the NYC Unit of the Federal Writers' Project, including the photographs assembled to illustrate their publications; most notably the Guide to New York City and New York Panorama.
In 2018 the NYC Department of Records and Information Services held an exhibition of some of the 5,000 photographs in their collection in which Brody’s photographs were featured alongside those of Dorothea Lange and Berenice Abbott. This fascinating blog posting about a forgotten part of New York City history on the Dept. website, includes Sam Brody’s images.
