The Greater Astoria Historical Society, author of Long Island City and The East River, is known for its vigorous efforts in community preservation, imaginative programming, and numerous articles on local history. The society joins its talents with the Roosevelt Island Historical Society for this project. The Roosevelt Island Historical Society, author of Roosevelt Island, was formed when the new community was developed in the 1970s. Its focus is the architectural, institutional, and genealogical history of the island. The society exhibits, publishes, and offers programs and tours to those seeking the island history.
