The Encyclopedia of New York City is a comprehensive reference book on New York City. Historian and Columbia University professor Kenneth T. Jackson edited this work that combines informative and interesting information about New York City into one volume, published in 1995 by the New York Historical Society and Yale University Press.
The Encyclopedia covers topics which include the arts, architecture, demographics, education, environment, government and politics, media, popular culture, science, and transportation. It contains over 4,300 entries, including 680 illustrations, photographs, maps, charts and tables that combine statistics and public records that are often difficult to access. Entries are written by experts in their respective fields and provide bibliographic references to more in-depth sources.
The updated Encyclopedia of New York City, 2nd edition is currently in progress and is scheduled for publication in 2009.
