Fragments from the Downtown scene, 1975-Present - The Downtown website is an attempt to provide quality online information about the Downtown New York Scene from 1975 to the present. It is based on materials in the Downtown New York Collection at the Fales Library of New York University. The Downtown Collection is the only collection of its kind at a major research university. The goal of the collection is to document the Downtown scene and to preserve and make available for research the materials produced by the artists, writers, performers, and others who worked downtown. The website will continue to grow as the collection does.
