We have a detailed history of Tin Pan Alley thanks to invaluable information from the Historic Districts Council in their “Brief-ish History of Tin Pan Alley” written in 2008, and Michael Minn in his piece “Tin Pan Alley”, part of his “New York City” photography collection project. As both accounts cover both overlapping and different information, we present them both below. Many thanks to them both for their thorough and dogged research and insightful presentation.

Event Information
“Songs She Wrote: 40 Hits by Pioneering Women of Popular Music” with Author/Historian Michael G. Garber
Women built the popular song industry of Tin Pan Alley, yet many of their stories have seldom been told. They blazed the trail for women in music today and set an inspiring example for future generations.
Songs She Wrote celebrates women's contributions to popular music by examining the work of dozens of well-known songwriters, lyricists, and composers from the first half of the twentieth century who made significant contributions.
