The original black and white 16 mm silent films were scanned to create digital video files in .mov and .mp4 formats for master and access versions, respectively. The collection inventory was compiled by transcribing information from a logbook created by the Bureau of Special Services to track their surveillance assignments. Additional information such as key words and expanded titles in brackets were added by the Film Archivist. Sponsor: This project was made possible in part by a grant from the Local Government Records Management Improvement Fund (LGRMIF) of the New York State Archives, a program of the State Education Department. 2 NYC Municipal Archives Guide to the New York Police Department surveillance films, 1960-1980 Biographical/Historical Note The New York City Police Department’s Bureau of Special Services and Investigations (BOSSI) had three major responsibilities: escorting dignitaries visiting New York City; acting as a liaison for the police department in major labor disputes; and conducting investigations as directed by the Police Commissioner, the Chief Inspector and the Chief of Detectives. BOSSI detectives would investigate and designate groups or individuals for surveillance at a specified place and time. These assignments would be written down in a logbook and then carried out by the NYPD’s Manhattan Photo Unit (PUM), regardless of which borough the surveillance was being conducted in. PUM would then develop the films and provide them to BOSSI detectives as needed. BOSSI had many different names over the course of the 20th century. It began as the Radical Bureau in 1912 when its primary mission was to investigate the status of alien residents. In 1915, it was renamed the Neutrality Squad and tasked with preventing bomb throwing anarchists. By 1923 it had been renamed the Radical Squad and their focus shifted to combatting communist dissidents. In 1931 the Radical Squad became the Bureau of Criminal Alien Investigations; in 1945 it became the Public Relations Squad. In 1946, it was renamed yet again as the Bureau of Special Services and Investigations. In 1955 it was simplified to the Bureau of Special Services. Despite this final change, it was still commonly referred to as BOSSI by NYPD officers and staff. Most of the groups filmed by the NYPD were part of a broad and disparate counter culture movement that often found common cause in the protests against the Vietnam War. As the war ramped up through the 1960s, activists for school integration, women’s equality, gay rights, labor unions and the sexual revolution all saw different aspects of the Vietnam War as emblematic of their own struggles over American culture and domestic policy. At the same time, these counter culture movements also sparked a backlash. As one of the cultural and financial centers of the country, New York City frequently found itself as a site for mass protests on both sides of these contentious issues. In 1985, a federal court found the surveillance methods used by BOSSI unconstitutional, forcing the NYPD to alter their approach to spying on New York City residents. Known as the “Handschu Agreement” after the lead plaintiff in the case, it stipulated that the surveillance of political groups could only be handled by the Public Security Section of the New York Police Department and only if there was suspicion that a crime had been committed. These restrictions did not apply to the films in this collection. Sources Bouza, Anthony V. Police Intelligence: The Operations of an Investigative Unit.

(There are three additional 8mm films that have not been digitized.) The films depict surveillance activities that were ordered by the Bureau of Special Services (BOSSI) and then carried out by the NYPD Photo Unit of Manhattan (PUM). The PUM officers were generally plain clothed to enable covert filming of their subjects, most often in public places. Virtually all of the films in this collection were shot on 100 foot reels, lasting up to three minutes in length. The films primarily document various political and activist groups BOSSI believed posed potential threats to the peace and safety of New York City residents. These groups included activists conducting protests, strikes, sit-ins and acts of civil disobedience focused on the end of segregation, the beginning of Civil Rights, protests against wars in Vietnam and South-East Asia, student and labor movements, as well as preventing assassination plots against foreign figures visiting the United Nations. The collection also includes footage of parades, religious festivals, celebrations for successful NASA missions, rallies for political parties and even home movies shot by NYPD officers. The films in this collection do not represent all of the films BOSSI or PUM recorded during this time. For example, those used in successful criminal prosecutions would have been entered into evidence and, as such, were handled separately from those transferred to the Municipal Archives.

  • “We Just Need to Go Egypt on Their Ass!” the Articulation of Labor and Community Organizing in New York City with Occupy Wall Street
    “We just need to go Egypt on their ass!” The Articulation of Labor and Community Organizing in New York City with Occupy Wall Street John Krinsky and Paul Getsos DRAFT: PLEASE DO NOT CIRCULATE BEYOND THE WORKSHOP b/c no citations Introduction Most of the people who marched down Broadway on the afternoon of September 17, eventually claiming Zuccotti Park and renaming it Liberty Square, practice activism as opposed to base- building campaign organizing. The difference between these two approaches to social justice work is a crucial one for understanding the tensions and potentials in Occupy Wall Street, and for distinguishing the core of Occupy from the more institutional left, comprised of established labor unions and community-based economic justice organizations. Occupiers focus on direct action and tactics whose aim is to raise awareness about an issue, or to challenge the state and corporate power (most usually by challenging the police or by claiming and occupying both public and private space). The institutional left focuses on building issue-oriented campaigns and leadership development among communities directly and adversely impacted by economic inequality in order to deliver tangible results. One of the things that makes Occupy unusual is that it is one of the few times outside of the global justice demonstrations in Seattle and work around the party conventions, that groups which practice the discipline of organizing worked with activists. Even more unusual is that organizers and activists have worked together over a sustained period of time and have moved from issue to issue and campaign to campaign. Some are very localized, such as work against stop-and-frisk policing in the South Bronx where Occupy Wall Street works with local neighborhood activists, to the Bank of America Campaign, where Occupy Wall Street activists are part of a national campaign where partners include the community organizing network National People’s Action and the faith-based federation of community organizations, PICO.

An overflow crowd of more than 2200 attended the rally,vhich was sponsored by a broad spectrum of organizations.

  • Landmarks Preservation Commission November 22, 2016, Designation List 490 LP-2579
    Landmarks Preservation Commission November 22, 2016, Designation List 490 LP-2579 YALE CLUB OF NEW YORK CITY 50 Vanderbilt Avenue (aka 49-55 East 44th Street), Manhattan Built 1913-15; architect, James Gamble Rogers Landmark site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1279, Lot 28 On September 13, 2016, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation of the Yale Club of New York City and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site. The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with provisions of law. Six people spoke in support of designation, including representatives of the Yale Club of New York City, Manhattan Borough President Gale A. Brewer, Historic Districts Council, New York Landmarks Conservancy, and the Municipal Art Society of New York. The Real Estate Board of New York submitted written testimony in opposition to designation. State Senator Brad Hoylman submitted written testimony in support of designation. Summary The Yale Club of New York City is a Renaissance Revival-style skyscraper at the northwest corner of Vanderbilt Avenue and East 44th Street.
