UPDATE: WORK HAS BEGUN on a new Forgotten New York. Hopefully the debut will be around Thanksgiving if all goes smoothly.
Hey, Forgotten Fans, your webmaster, Kevin Walsh, needs your assistance in order to better master the web!
Forgotten NY’s current website is long overdue for an overhaul: updated platform and design, better search functionality, mobile capability… just a few of the current challenges. FNY is also coming up on its 20th Anniversary, so we’re asking for your help with a website worthy of its content and to better serve YOU users! Because while Forgotten NY covers many long-lost aspects of our great city, its website should not be a thing of the past!
GOAL: $5,000 (new website design + hosting)
Besides profiting from this brand new site, there are even more rewards for your (not)Forgotten support!
Tier donation rewards
$5,000 = There are no words to express our gratitude. If Kevin had a firstborn, you’d get it, but since Forgotten New York is his baby, how’s about a lifetime of free tours?
+ signed copies of “Forgotten New York,” and “Forgotten Queens” books, with credit to you listed on the new website
$2,500 = a personalized tour of your choosing with Kevin J. Walsh himself + a signed copy of “Forgotten NY”
$1,000 = 20 Forgotten NY tours
$500 = 10 Forgotten NY tours
$100 = signed Forgotten NY (or Forgotten Queens book – TBD per Kevin)
$50 = 1-year membership to Greater Astoria Historical Society (which includes $5 discount on FNY tours)
Thank you for any contribution you can make!

Will this help with those who don’t have to worry about the bandwith being exceeded after clicking a few links?
I’d say pay for more bandwidth. I cannot design a site for people who do not have enough.
Just donated. I’m off Facebook but wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your work!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! $5000 reached!!!
Any word on the revamp progress?

Great, cannot wait. I come to your site almost every day.
