Unpacking Harlem History

Jen Young noticed This NYTimes Story on A’Lelia Bundles. The Museum of the City of New York, as part of an exhibition, “Harlem Lost and Found,” is giving
the public’s first glimpse of most of the items in Ms. Bundles’s collection.
Ms. Bundles, who has no children, plans to bequeath her heirlooms to museums. For now she will keep her first editions of books by Harlem Renaissance writers in a bookcase downstairs, near a pair of chestnut and glass cabinets containing some of the silver and perhaps even the ostrich feather fan. The neatly marked boxes of papers will go in the second-floor study.
