The Soundscape of New York City at the Beginning of the Last Millennium


This remarkable labor of love from historian Emily Thompson gives us a chance to hear New York a century ago.  Explore sounds by Type, Location, or on a Timeline.  Finally, the internet offers us a way to lose an afternoon and evening – or two – without wasting our time.  Put cat videos on hold and click around this excellent resource.
