Since December, evidence has strongly suggested that something wild infected humans with the virus at one such market in central Wuhan

Despite the clear balance of evidence, an overwhelming proportion of aid is devoted to country lending, with only a fraction allocated to financing GPGs

The COVID-19 pandemic threatens the world with disaster. But the crisis also offers govts a rare chance to undertake policy changes that can boost the global economy's long-term growth potential.

George Washington wanted a tent. The commander of the Continental Army had the impossible task of transforming his ragtag troops into a professional fighting force to match the mighty British.

The world’s first cruise ship, the Prinzessin Victoria Luise, opened for business—but mostly for pleasure—in 1901. The Hamburg-American line vessel contained only first-class cabins, each of which was “brilliantly lighted by electricity,” outfitted with electric bells,  steam-heated, and ventilated.

Growing up in the North Jersey suburbs in the 1960s, I never thought of my family as makers of American history.

In the fall of 2018, Niagara Falls left New York. The 1804 painting by Antoine Phillippe d’Orleans, Duc de Montpensier, departed its home at the New-York Historical Society in late September and traveled to France’s Palace of Versailles, where it was part of an exhibition about the July Monarchy, entitled Louis Philippe and Versailles.

Tycoons love to survey their empires. And in the 1870s, that empire was San Francisco. The city was in a period of ravenous growth fueled by mining discoveries like the 1848 Gold Rush and the Comstock Lode, and the first transcontinental rail line, a feat that made the men behind the Central Pacific Railroad—Mark Hopkins,...

Henry Pelham created an image for the ages. On the snowy night of March 5, 1770, a group of British soldiers were confronted by an unruly crowd of colonists near the Custom House in Boston.

When you think about a brooch, you might think of your grandmother’s beautiful and intricate butterfly pin. Or maybe you’ve read about the various adornments that Queen Elizabeth II wears on special occasions. But for people living in the Victorian era, something as simple as a brooch was weighted with meaning and heavily scrutinized by...

The history is right there in Wyoming’s official nickname: the Equality State. In 1889, delegates to Wyoming’s constitutional convention voted to do something that had never been done before: permanently guarantee women the right to vote in a constitution, without any preconditions. Article No. VI, Section 1, states plainly: “The rights of citizens of the...

Author and scholar Douglas Brinkley has been described by CNN as “a man who knows more about the presidency than just about any human being alive.” So it was a match made in history heaven when New-York Historical named him our official presidential historian in 2017.

April 22, 2020, marks the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. The first Earth Day on April 22, 1970, was a remarkably non-partisan affair that brought an estimated 20 million people out into the streets, parks, and beaches across the United States. In New York alone, Earth Day celebrations, rallies, and teach-ins shut down 5th Avenue...

In 2010, our Public Program series welcomed an all-star lineup: journalist and then-New York Times columnist Bob Herbert, The New Yorker‘s Adam Gopnik, and boxing writer and sports historian Bert Sugar (who sadly, passed away in 2012).
