The Corona Collection

Launched in 2024, The Corona Collection is an effort to gather oral histories of people who lived in the Corona and East Elmhurst neighborhoods who have first-person accounts of Louis and Lucille Armstrong during the time they lived on 107th Street. Where possible, we may also interview descendants and others who can share second-hand accounts that have been passed down. The Armstrongs were involved in the daily life of their community. We seek to continue that tradition. LAHM is committed to engaging with our neighbors, establishing a sense of connectedness, of pride, and of a shared ownership of a shared legacy.
