Overview diagram entitled "Albany, N. Y., 1686," ink on mylar by L. F. Tantillo (1985). This image informed by the first census of householders taken in 1697. It is based on the Roemer Map of 1698 and on property information derived by the Colonial Albany Social History Project. It represents our ambition to develop materials to help visualize this early American city in one of its earliest incarnations. The diagram was created for the programs supporting the Albany Tricentennial of 1986. Collection of Stefan Bielinski.
