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.

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
The pier 740 master plan which eventually led to historic core, it resulted in those buildings being rehabilitated and rfp that resulted in brookfield taking over the waterfront site as our partner on that location and the next slide, built on to that process in 2013.

A ban on elephant hunting that had been imposed 5 years earlier it now permits the killing of 402 year promising a field day for sports hunters the government says the hunting should be allowed specifically in areas where elephants human conflicts are most common or what elephants we have learnt over time about elephants is that when the north is the danger they will not go to those areas and we use the controlled hunting to achieve that not to reduce numbers but to create better. So that people can continue about livelihoods i mean. Its been estimated that the elephant population will continue to grow significantly even if 400. 00 a kill each year.
