In Episode 20 of Brooklyn Historical Society’s podcast Flatbush + Main, co-hosts Zaheer Ali and Julie Golia use one seemingly inconsequential manuscript collection to explore themes of memory and history-making over many generations. In 1915, Brooklynite Francis Morrell wrote a small tract called &quot;Recollections of Old Williamsburgh.&quot; This self-published work of genealogy reminds us that historical writing tells us just as much about the time that it was written as about the time period it purports to study. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; BKLYN Community Audio https://www.bklynlibrary.org/podcasts/community-content <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/38621255/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/194325680
