About
The history of Prospect Park is the history of Brooklyn. Once primarily farmland, Brooklyn changed drastically in the early and mid 1800s. Population boomed and with the swell of people came the need for urban greenspace. Famed designers Olmsted and Vaux meticulously crafted Prospect Park’s 585 acres and the rest is history.
Prospect Park Alliance is the non-profit organization that sustains, restores and advances Brooklyn's Backyard, in partnership with the City of New York. The Alliance provides critical staff and resources that keep Prospect Park green and vibrant for the diverse communities that call Brooklyn home.
Amy Peck, Amy has been at Prospect Park Alliance since 2000, and in 2006 was named the archivist for the Alliance’s collections of historic images, documents, and architectural drawings related to the design and ongoing restoration of Prospect Park. Amy has become a leading expert on the history of one of Frederick Law Olmsted, Sr.’s most successfully preserved urban parks and is a key resource on that history for filmmakers, authors, and other researchers as well as for the Alliance’s staff of architects and landscape architects. She received her BA in English literature from Oberlin College, and participated in a two-week archival practices training course, the Modern Archives Institute, jointly run by the National Archives in conjunction with the Library of Congress.
