The Chatham Square Branch of The New York Public Library opened in 1903 at 33 East Broadway in Manhattan, replacing a branch of the New York Free Circulating Library that had served the neighborhood for four years. The building was designed by the architectural firm of McKim, Mead and White and was constructed with funds provided by Andrew Carnegie. Since opening, the branch has been an integral part of the Chinese-American neighborhood it serves, and today is home to the Chinese Heritage Collection, a unique repository of books, reports, documents, videos, and other materials in English and Chinese. Reports, publicity material and administrative records documenting the operations of the Chatham Square Branch of The New York Public Library. less
