Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
This article traces the history of New York City’s geographic
school subdistrict boundaries throughout the 20th century, exploring the historical
relationship between race, space, and schooling in New York City and
beyond. It seeks to both make the case for studying the spatial history
of within-district education boundaries and put the results of our historical
mapping project into the public domain. Ultimately we hope that researchers
will use our data to explore their own questions about the history of New York
City, its neighborhoods, and its schools, and that some may embark upon similar
boundary-mapping projects for other cities, counties and school systems.
