I recently had occasion to reread a charming history of our institution, written in 1954 in celebration of New-York Historical’s 150th anniversary. The history introduces an imaginary, prophetic rooster “Chanticler,” who foresees a whole new generation of pioneers in our city— “trail-blazers in the realm of scientific discovery and invention [who] will continue the traditions which have made ours the greatest nation in the world.” Walking through the galleries of Silicon City: Computer History Made in New York, on view through April 17 in our Robert H. and Clarice Smith Galleries, it would be difficult not to give credit to Chanticler for correctly predicting the future. This eye-opening exhibition shows how, long before Silicon Valley became synonymous with all things digital, New York was a hub for imagining, developing, and selling the technology that ultimately reshaped our entertainment, as well as commerce and daily life.

To complement Silicon City and other special New-York Historical exhibitions and themes is a brand-new public programs series, History with David M. Rubenstein, featuring conversations between distinguished philanthropist David Rubenstein and historians and writers such as Walter Isaacson and Cokie Roberts, both scheduled for this spring.

The heart of our public programs, of course, continues to be the Bernard and Irene Schwartz Distinguished Speakers Series. Thanks to the great generosity of Trustee Bernard Schwartz and the outstanding talents of my colleague Dale Gregory, Vice President for Public Programs, and her amazing team of Alex Kassl, Hannah Donoghue, and Kate Yurkovsky, this spring’s Schwartz Series promises to be more compelling than ever: on the Cold War with Niall Ferguson, Philip Bobbitt, and Henry Kissinger; on Thomas Jefferson with Annette Gordon- Reed and Peter Onuf; on the influence of folk art versus classicism in music and art with Leon Botstein and Barbara Haskell; Assoc. Justice (Ret.) John Paul Stevens in conversation with
