Related Materials

New-York Historical Society holds many collections by or related to Thomas De Voe. These can be identified by searching on De Voe's name in N-YHS's on-line catalog, Bobcat. It is likely that at least some of those documents are closely related to these scrapbooks, but were separated for item level cataloging and shelved separately at some point. Many of these separate collections relate substantially to De Voe's interest in markets.

Existence and Location of Copies

There are bound facsimiles of volumes SN-67, SN-68, SN-79, and another copy of Mariam Touba's index (see SN-68) available at the reference desk.

Immediate Source of Acquisition

Bequest of Thomas F. De Voe.

Processing Information

In 2019-20, as part of a broader project, archivist Elise Winks performed a high level survey of the collection and assigned unique identifiers to each volume. In 2022, archivist Larry Weimer inventoried the scrapbooks, boxing them for offsite storage, and describing them in this finding aid.
