Join the NYC Department of Records and Information Services (DORIS) each month for our virtual Lunch & Learn Series – an intimate conversation with agency staff and special guests focusing on the collections of the Municipal Archives and Library and the history of New York City.

On October 8th, Riah Lee Kinsey, MLS will offer a compelling exploration of the life and times of Mary Jones, the antebellum tabloid sensation whose 1836 felony case laid the foundation of archival visibility for New York City’s Black transgender community.
