| Abstract:

The Stuyvesant-Rutherfurd Papers is one of four discrete but closely related collections,
known together as the Alexander - Stuyvesant - Rutherfurd Collections. The Stuyvesant-Rutherfurd
Papers contain correspondence and papers of members of the Stuyvesant and Rutherfurd
families of New York City and New Jersey. Most of the collection consists of correspondence
among members of the immediate family of Lewis Morris Rutherfurd (1816-1892), and
his son, Rutherfurd Stuyvesant (1840-1909). Other persons represented in the collection
include Lewis Morris Rutherfurd's aunt, Helena Rutherfurd Stuyvesant (1790-1873),
her husband, Peter Gerard Stuyvesant (1778-1847), and her father-in-law, Peter (Petrus)
Stuyvesant (1727-1805). One series contains material concerning the Stuyvesant Institute,
an educational facility in New York City. The collection also contains a small amount
of material pertaining to or created by members of the Alexander family of New York
City and New Jersey.
