A Virtual Event
Shipwrecks and trade, love and marriage, and clashes of culture tell a story as old and as young as New York today. Come meet Native Americans Chief Oratam, Chief Wampage II and his daughter Anna Pell, enslaved Africans Manuel de Gerrit de Reus and Dorothy Creole, Jewish resident Asser Levy, Anthony Salee, aka “The Turk," and women’s advocate Catalina Trico. Join NAHC Trustee Toya Dubin, director of the Mapping Early New York project, for the latest virtual tour of 17th-Century New Netherland. How did these people deal with climate change, establish gardens, use native plant life, and harness wind power in their attempt to create a sustainable city?
Learn how Artificial Intelligence and Chat GPT now enhance the level of detail in the Encyclopedia. And you won’t want to miss a sneak peek at some of the 3D modeling planned for release in the spring of 2024!
