Eugene L. Armbruster Photography Collection, The New-York Historical Society Link
Armbruster took photographs beginning in the late 19th century, but the majority of his work is from the 1910s and 1920s. Around the time of his retirement, Armbruster became interested in local history and began to photograph his environs in earnest, specifically the boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens. He took thousands of photographs of historic houses, churches, streetscapes, and buildings throughout New York City and Long Island. Beginning around 1915, he wrote for the “Old-Timer” column of the Brooklyn Eagle. He honed his knowledge of local history through reading and extensive walking throughout the streets he was documenting. A majority of his photographs are annotated with historical information. He sought the rural environments linked to the past, turning to the rural counties of Long Island after the towns and neighborhoods of Brooklyn and Queens started growing and modernizing in the early 1920s. From 1914 to 1929, Armbruster published several pamphlets about local history, which he illustrated with his own line drawings, copy photos, and original photographs. In the 1930s, he published three pamphlets on language and its origins, seemingly a new interest.

Edith Neumann Papers, Leo Baeck Institute, Center for Jewish History Link
Edith Neumann was born in Vienna on May 26, 1902, and studied chemistry and physics at the University of Vienna, recieving her doctorate in 1927. In May 1925, she became engaged to Friedrick Neumann. He was a student of the philosopher Martin Heidegger, but eventually gained a reputation as a biblical scholar. In 1948 the Neumanns immigrated to the United States, where they settled in New York. Frederick Neumann became the pastor of the Bushwick Congregational Church in Brooklyn, a position he held until his death. Edith Neumann worked as a bacteriologist at the Jewish Hospital in Brooklyn, before accepting a position as microbiologist at Maimonides Hospital, where she remained for the next 20 years.
