The CBH hosts materials, events, and programs relating to the history of Brooklyn, with over 300,000 items in its collection as of 2023. The Long Island Historical Society, or LIHS, was founded in 1863 as a membership library named after its geographic location on Long Island. It initially occupied rented space but, due to rapid growth in its collections, built the Pierrepont Street structure between 1878 and 1881.
