| Abstract: |
The New-York Historical Society management committee records group includes records
associated with the organization's governance structure of 1804-1937. The record group
includes minute books from the meetings of the Society's members (1804-1937) and from
the meetings of the Executive Committee (1842-1937), as well as from other committees
and the first year (1938) of the newly-constituted Board of Trustees. The record group
also includes files of so-called official papers, which include ad hoc committee reports,
draft annual reports, correspondence, financial information, membership nominations,
and other material directly related to the proceedings of the Society and Executive
Committee meetings. Select documents have been digitized and are in the process of
being made available on-line; currently available materials can be accessed via links
in the finding aid.

This record group was processed as part of the 2015-2016 N-YHS Institutional Archives
project, made possible by a generous grant from the Leon Levy Foundation. Support
from the Leon Levy Foundation also made possible the digitization in 2019-2020 of
select documents from this record group; these are available on-line through links
in this finding aid and through the Shelby White and Leon Levy Digital Library. |
