Introduction



How to get people to understand the variety of what Brooklyn Historical Society has to offers?



Founded in 1863, Brooklyn Historical Society (BHS) is a nationally recognized urban history center dedicated to preserving and encouraging the study of Brooklyn's extraordinary 400-year history. It was essential to redesign its website to make justice to BHS impact and attract more visitor.


I created this project while working at Brooklyn Digital Foundry, in collaboration with Lindsay DeVellis and leading a design team including Margaux Tellier and Emma Boileau.




IDENTITY




WIREFRAMES




WEBSITE



Homepage



More than promoting the ongoing exhibition, we wanted to invite the user to explore more content from BHS

like the blog stories and podcast or the oral history program.​



Exhibition



How to best tease an exhibition? First, you need to give an overview and the practical information, then highlight part of the exhibition, give testimonials... What about setting the scene of the exhibition, by explaining a bit more the context in key dates or facts.



Not just about a location



BHS is not all about the location. They have a huge online content like Online Exhibitions, Projects, Oral History Program, Photo Archive... how the best invite the user to explore more content from this website?



Visit Page



BHS recently open a new location in Dumbo, so one of the things we wanted to promote was the locations and the facts that they are in walkable distance from another. Obviously, we also wanted to provide the user of any information prior visit, like direction, hours, price but also accessibility, etc...
