Queens Public Library - Interactive Digital Map
The Queens Memory team, in partnership with Urban Archive, is proud to debut the Queens Name Explorer project! An interactive digital map and crowdsourcing project, aimed at uncovering the stories behind named spaces throughout the borough of Queens. The interactive map documents the biographical details of individuals whose names grace our streets, schools, buildings, parks, monuments, and additional public places.
The public unveiling will be presented today at McGoldrick Library by Dennis M. Walcott, President and CEO of Queens Public Library with Natalie Milbrodt, Director of the Queens Memory Project and Jason D. Antos, Executive Director of the Queens Historical Society.
Mr. Walcott will unveil three posters highlighting major landmarks named after well-known individuals:
- Gwen Ifill Park in Jamaica, near the longtime PBS anchor’s birthplace
- Lorena Borjas Way in Jackson Heights, named after the Mexican-American transgender and immigrant rights activist
- McGoldrick Library in Flushing named for the Irish immigrant and priest, Reverend Edward F. McGoldrick.
Start exploring and adding at the interactive digital map. We can’t wait for you to get involved!
