New York City Transit Authority: Objects contains over 400 artifacts related to the New York City Subway, collected and documented by photographer Brian Kelley

Kelley started collecting MTA MetroCards in 2011, and he quickly became fascinated by other Subway-related objects. This catalogue is the first of its kind — presenting a previously uncollated archive of subway ephemera that spans three centuries.

This collection provides an eye-opening look at a transit system entirely different from the one we know today. Some of Kelley’s finds date back to the mid 19th century, and more familiar objects like subway tokens and coin-collecting bags from an era not so long ago.
