vice president of public programs at the new york public library. it's a privilege for the library to host tonight's program celebrating mike wallace's new book, greater gotham. the long-awaited sequel to his book gotham. greater gotham picks up the story at the turn of the last century, a period when new york experienced unparalleled growth, expansion and consolidation when much of the infrastructure was developed and when many of our institutions were founded including this one at the new york public library. incidentally the room in which we are seated was carved out of what was once the reservoir and there is a great illustration of that in the book. it's a special honor for us to host this program not only because of the importance of the book and its subject matter but also because mike wallace who is a fellow in the coleman center for scholars and writers and a resident in the allen room researched a good deal of the book right here in the library's archives. the library's holdings on new york city are of course vast and include such collections as the archive of the new york t
