Container List

Series VII. Miscellaneous files, binders, and loose material, circa 1930-2015. 5 Linear Feet

Scope and Contents

Series VII gathers a mix of single-topic files revolving around the perennial issue of social welfare that do not fold neatly into the preceding five series. Of particular interest are the folders covering Dumpson's time as administrator of the New York City Human Resources Administration (box 12, folders 14–15, and box 13, folder 1), and board chairman of the Health and Hospitals Corporation (box 12, folders 10–13). Series VII also includes a significant amount of loose material, and miscellaneous items that came to the New-York Historical Society in unlabeled binders.

Arrangement

The files of Series VII are sorted alphabetically by their titles supplied by James R. Dumpson. The remaining folders of loose material and items from unlabeled binders are grouped in rough chronological order.
