Thomas W. Matteo, Ed.D. as Borough's fourth historian
Borough President James P. Molinaro held a ceremony in his office to officially appoint Thomas W. Matteo, Ed.D., as the Borough’s fourth historian. “It is my great pleasure to appoint Tom Matteo as our new Borough Historian,” Borough President Molinaro said. “I have known Tom for many years and admired his remarkable record of accomplishment at Sea View Hospital, which has a fascinating history of its own. Tom has a wealth of knowledge about Staten Island and a lot of interesting ideas on how a 21st Century historian can make our past more accessible and fun to learn, especially for our young people.”
Dr. Matteo said, “I am honored to have been selected as Borough Historian. I hope to bring our rich history out of the dusty archives and into the light for the public to see, enjoy and learn. One way is to create a digitized, on-line library of pictures and documents and make them accessible through a website.” STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. – Borough President James P.
