The 90th Regiment New York Veteran Volunteer Association papers includes documents
concerning this Civil War veterans organization, founded 1884, and to a somewhat lesser
extent, Mansfield Post No. 35 of the Grand Army of the Republic (G.A.R.). These documents
were written or compiled by Thomas D. Sugden, a member and sometime officer of the
organizations, both of Brooklyn, New York. The bulk of the material dates from 1882-1894.
It includes meeting notes, admission tickets and other ephemera, a scrapbook of 90th
Veterans Association memorabilia, invitations, financial reports for Post 35, correspondence,
and newspaper clippings. The collection includes only three items dating from the
90th regiment's war years; these are three numbers of
The New Era, a newspaper published in Key West, Florida, and edited by the regiment's quartermaster.
