The New York Marble Cemetery is a historic cemetery founded in 1830, and located in the interior of the block bounded by East 2nd and 3rd Streets, 2nd Avenue, and Bowery, in the East Village neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. It is entered through an alleyway with an iron gate at each end, located between 41 and 43 Second Avenue. About 2,100 burials are recorded in the cemetery's written registers, most from prominent professional and merchant families in New York City.The New York Marble Cemetery, which was New York City's first non-sectarian burial place, should not be confused with the nearby New York City Marble Cemetery one block east, which is entirely separate, and was established one year later. Both cemeteries were designated New York City landmarks in 1969, and in 1980 both were added to the National Register of Historic Places.History and descriptionThe cemetery was founded as a commercial undertaking of Perkins Nichols, who hired two lawyers, Anthony Dey and George W. Strong, to serve as organizing trustees. Recent outbreaks of yellow fever led city residents to fear burying their dead in coffins just a few feet below ground, and public health legislation had outlawed earthen burials. Nichols intended to appeal to this market by providing underground vaults for burial.

Oscar Austin's AEGIS Combat System (ACS) is the most technically advanced in the world, capable of projecting power both at sea and ashore with precision. The ACS is composed of the Aegis Weapons System (AWS), the fast-reaction component of the AEGIS Anti-Aircraft Warfare (AAW) capability along with the Phalanx close in Weapon System (CIWS), the MK 41 Vertical Launch System (VLS), the AN/SQQ-89 Anti-Submarine warfare (ASW) system, and Tomahawk Land Attack Cruise Missiles (TLAM) system. Shipboard torpedo and naval gunnery systems are also integrated. AWS, the heart of Aegis, comprises the AN/SPY-1D Radar, MK 99 Fire Control System, Weapon Control System, Command and Decision Suite, and SM-2 Standard Missile. Capable of tracking hundreds of contacts simultaneously, the Aegis Weapons System can engage multiple threats at maximum range with a high degree of automation. Oscar Austin is outfitted with a 5 inch/54 caliber dual purpose gun mount, able to accurately fire 16-20 rounds a minute to ranges in excess of 13 miles. For point defense, two 20mm CIWS mounts, capable of firing 4500 rounds per minute to defeat inbound threats at close range, are located forward and aft. The ship's SONAR suite is capable of detecting, tracking, identifying, and engaging multiple submerged threats simultaneously. Oscar Austin is powered by four General Electric LM2500 Gas Turbines, providing over 100,000 shaft horsepower and enabling the ship to achieve speeds in excess of 30 knots. Three Allison 501-K34 Gas Turbine Generators, each capable of supplying 2500KW of power, provide the ship with ample electric power. Oscar Austin's two reverse Osmosis (RO) desalination plants can produce 68-83 liters of fresh water per every 378 liters of sea water, and can generate over 90,000 liters of water each day.
New York City Department of Records – the source for four centuries of municipal government history and information. The Department of Records and Information Services was created by Local Law 49 of 1977, which added a new Chapter 72 to the Charter of The City of New York. For the first time in the City's history, this law established in one department the responsibility for the organization and retrieval of the massive documentation--records, reports and archival documents--produced by past and present governments. The law consolidated several information and reference programs already in existence. Visitors to the Municipal Archives and the Municipal Library marvel at the beautiful marble lobby at 31 Chambers Street. We encourage you to take the opportunity to experience the wealth of archival and library treasures preserved behind locked doors by visiting the Municipal Library, Archives and Visitor Center.
