Description

The bulk of the collection consists of the Annual Reports of The Mount Sinai Hospital and its predecessor organization (until 1866), the Jews’ Hospital in the City of New York. These Reports date from 1856-1956 with some gaps in the early years. The collection also includes the complete five volume set of The Mount Sinai Hospital Reports, 1898-1906, the Report of The Mount Sinai Training School for Nurses from 1881-1911, and the Rules and Regulations for the Government of The Mount Sinai Hospital of the City of New York from 1899-1919. Two previously published histories of The Mount Sinai Hospital are also being made available: The Story of the First Fifty Years of The Mount Sinai Hospital (Mount Sinai Hospital, 1944) and The First Hundred Years of The Mount Sinai Hospital of New York, 1852-1952 by Joseph Hirsh and Beka Doherty (Random House, 1952). Taken together, these volumes are a resource for information on the development of hospitals and healthcare during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The Annual Reports also provide insight into the Jewish community of New York City over this period, including names and addresses of the Hospital’s supporters, a boon for genealogical researchers.

Description

This collection of the annual reports of the Wildlife Conservation Society, covering the years 1922-2008, represent the Society’s annual reports that were not previously available online. WCS’s annual reports are among the most heavily consulted resources in the WCS Archives. Because they record the activities of WCS—which includes leadership in global wildlife conservation and management of the world’s largest system of urban wildlife parks, including the flagship Bronx Zoo—the annual reports constantly prove valuable to those interested not only in WCS’s history but also in the histories of wildlife conservation, zoos and aquariums, and New York City culture.

Description

The Gilded Age witnessed large and valuable private collections disposed of at auction. New York City played an important role in this burgeoning market. Auction catalogs from these sales provide a wealth of information about the world of collecting, provenance, artists, and artistic tastes during a time of burgeoning wealth. Materials from the Frick Art Reference Library and Archive and The William Randolph Hearst Archive, LIU Post comprise this collection documenting auctions of decorative arts during the Gilded Age. Numerous sale catalogs have annotations that document the buyer and price. Sometimes items such as handwritten tallies, letters from the auction houses, sketches, and news clippings have been inserted into the catalogs, and these have been digitized as part of the collection. Along with auction catalogs, other archival material was digitized, including sales records and photos of objects. Spanning the period from 1876 to 1922, this collection documents the importance of auction catalogs and sales that played a pivotal role in the history of collecting in New York City. A majority of the auction catalogs in the collection were issued at auctions held by the American Art Association. 19,294 objects were digitized and 104 MARC records were created for the digital versions of the catalogs.

New York Aquarium Postcards

New York Aquarium

Description

The New York Aquarium is the oldest continually operating aquarium in the United States, having opened in Castle Garden in Battery Park, Manhattan in 1896. Since 1957, it has been located on the boardwalk in Coney Island, Brooklyn. The Aquarium is managed by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS).

Originally owned by the City of New York, the New York Aquarium opened on December 10, 1896, at Castle Garden in Battery Park. On October 31, 1902, the City transferred control and operation of the Aquarium to WCS (then known as the New York Zoological Society). At that time, the Aquarium housed only 150 specimens of wildlife. During the tenure of its most famous director, the distinguished zoologist Charles Haskins Townsend, the collections grew considerably, and the Aquarium attracted hundreds of thousands of visitors each year.

In October 1941, the Aquarium at Battery Park was closed by NYC Parks Commissioner Robert Moses in preparation for the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel. Many of the Aquarium’s inhabitants were temporarily housed at the Bronx Zoo's Lion House until the new aquarium was built after World War II. On June 6, 1957, the New York Aquarium opened at its new location in Coney Island, Brooklyn.

The Aquarium has a long history as a beloved New York City attraction, and the postcards on display here show off the sights that have dazzled its viewers over the years.

Description

The Art Resources from the Mid-20th Century collection contains digitized versions of key selections from the personal libraries of two women who helped shape the mid-century New York art world— Hilla Rebay at the Guggenheim (then the Museum of Non-Objective Painting) and Juliana Force at the Whitney. These items allow for a closer look at the movements, artists, and ideas that influenced the founding directors of two of New York City’s most prominent art museums, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Materials include American and European art historical texts, art exhibition catalogs, biographies of artists and collectors, philosophical and political treatises, and New York City guides and tourism pamphlets, and range in date from the late 1800s to the 1960s.

Art Resources from the Mid-20th Century is a collaborative project between the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and the Whitney Museum of American Art.

Description

The art exhibitions of galleries, clubs, and associations in the late 19th and early 20th centuries chronicle the emergence of New York City as an international center for the production of art and the art market.

Materials from the collections of the Frick Art Reference Library and the Brooklyn Museum Libraries and Archives comprise the Documenting the Gilded Age digital collection. Spanning the period from 1875 to 1922, documents in this exhibition tell the story of the role 97 institutions played in the history of the New York art scene.

Kraushaar Art Galleries, Durand-Ruel Galleries, Ehrich Galleries, Folsom Galleries, Frederick Keppel & Co., Kennedy & Co. and Scott & Fowles. Approximately 500 items were digitized.
