| Abstract: |
Although the record group does not hold comprehensive records concerning N-YHS's financial
history, there are several 19th century records (cash ledgers, mortgagee holdings
documentation, bank books, etc.) that provide glimpses into N-YHS's early finances.
Also there is extensive financial data (expenses, budgets, investments, etc.) for
the late 1980s and early 1990s; though the timeframe is limited, it represents a period
when N-YHS faced a severe fiscal crisis and so can provide insight into that pivotal
moment in the organization's history. The record group also holds much information
about many of N-YHS's special funds (e.g., Harper Fund) and the financial aspects
of the Encyclopedia of New York City project.
