In the Manuscript Division of the library of congress. Cheryl this exhibition jacob riis revealing how the other half lives is a copresentation with the museum of the city of new york. It is the first time that the collections of the library of congress and the jacob riis papers have been married with the photographs that are in the stellar collection at the museum of the city of new york. We picked the word copresentation very carefully because the exhibition here actually follows an exhibit that was at the museum of the city of new york and that exhibit was called jacob riis revealing new yorks other half was slightly different. It looks at riis in a slightly different way, and sort of concentrating more on his biography, more on his photography. Here we are looking at riis as the journalist, because that is the strength of our collection. The papers here, which number 3000 in the Manuscript Division, are really featured well in this exhibition and sort of come to the forefront. Barb
