The Brooklyn Standard Union provides Brooklyn-wide news coverage of business, politics, education, community events, clubs and organizations, arts, culture, sports, religion, and entertainment. International and national news coverage is also provided. Early issues do not contain birth announcements or wedding announcements. However, such announcements occasionally appear in later issues and a list of marriage licenses appears near the end of the paper's run. Death notices appear regularly in early issues of the paper while later issues contain an expanded obituary section. Issues from the early 20th century contain sections devoted to such neighborhoods as Greenpoint, Brownsville, East New York, and South Brooklyn. Advertisements appear throughout and photographs appear in later issues. In March of 1932 the Brooklyn Daily Times merged with The Standard Union and both titles were on the masthead until June, when the paper was renamed the Brooklyn Times Union.
