Scope and Content Note

This collection contains administrative files, mostly financial records, from the years that Muriel L. Mantel worked in the Office of the Treasurer and earlier. The records were received directly from Muriel Mantel in 1993. The collection consists of 74 Hollinger boxes comprising 18.5 linear feet. The inclusive dates are from 1886 to 1993, with the bulk dates from 1910 to 1979. The records were in fairly good condition when received. The collection is divided into four series, General Administration, Washington Square, University Heights, and Medical Center and the current arrangement is approximately alphabetical by subject and, within that, chronological.

The majority of the records are financial and include: papers having to do with real estate transactions and insurance, property taxes, building plans and blueprints, wills, trusts and endowments, planning committees, bills, budget information, press publications, patents, and correspondence. Particularly useful or relevant for researchers is material relating to NYU's property acquisitions and development, especially having to do with the building of the Medical Center, including information about buying buidlings, mergers, mortgage papers, building blueprints, maintenance reports, building contracts and reports, lease agreements, tenant eviction notices, demolitions and renovations, building inspetions, and community negotiations.
