NEW WEBSITE: 1940s NEW YORK CITY STREET VIEW PHOTOGRAPHS

 


A few years ago I wrote an article in our Jewish Genealogical Society of Greater Miami BRANCHES Newsletter about New York City Tax Photos.  Photographs are available on a searchable database at the New York City Department of Records and Information Services. (http://nycma.lunaimaging.com/luna/servlet/NYCMA~7~7






The Guide to the 1940s Tax Department photographs, 1939-1951 can be found by clicking HERE

As reported by Dick Eastman "a new website maps old city tax photos in a 1940s Street View map."
