Scanned Using Book Scancenter 5022 INDEX THE ALBANY PUBLIC LIBRARY LOCAL HISTORY PAMPHLET COLLECTION DESCRIPTION OF COLLECTION The Albany Public Library Local History Pamphlet Collection contains 5,881 documents dating from^1797 to 1988, the bulk of the pamphlets range from 1850 to 1950. Though the exact history of the collection is unknown, it seems to have stemmed from a community organization file actively developed in the first half the of twentieth century. Over the years other pamphlets dealing with all aspects of Albany were added, resulting in an "all- encompassing" local history collection. Although the main emphasis of the collection still remains on community organizations, many other areas of concern to the local historian are now included. The collection is particularly strong in the areas of Albany churches, hospitals, and schools. Besides only being connected to organizations and agencies-, some pamphlets stand on there own as general essays, biographies, or poems •written by or about people, both famous and not so famous. Altogether, 398 organizations and people are represented. The main concept that ties this collection together is "Albany". It should be of interest to any local historian and contains primary information from a broad range of topics-from local governments to social conditions. HOW TO ACCESS THIS COLLECTION The following index has two levels of access: title of organization and subject. SUBJECT: The subject index is most useful for the researcher interested in all of the organizations represented by general areas of Albany life (i.e. churches, hospitals). It offers basic subject headings with a Listing of all of the appropriate organizations included in that category. The user must then consult the main body of the iridex for more information about the speci'f ic organizations. TITLE: This is the main body of the index. All organizations are listed in alphabetic order by title. Not ail of the ..pamphlets included are connected to organizations. Some of the pamphlets are bipgraphies, general essays, or poems. In this case the files are titled by the person that the pamphlet is written by or about (i.e. Lincoln, Abraham). In most cases the pamphlets are connected to and filed under a particular organization. All authors of specific pamphlets are included in the index with appropriate "see" references to direct the user to the organization under which the author's work is found. An example of an entry in the index is as follows: Calvary Baptist Church 1881-1910 Items: 4 Subjects: CHURCHES See: See Also: Emmanuel Baptist Church -"Calvary Baptist Church" is the title of the organization and main entry of the represented documents -"1881-1910" is the date range of documents in the file -"Items" refers to the number of documents contained in the file •^-"Subjects" refers to the subject heading(s) as&igned to each title -"See" Indicates that the information concerning this organization or 'person is housed in a different location. "See" tells you where to find the information. If there is a "See" reference, there will be no other information in the entry. -"See Also" refers the user to addition locations where information about the organization made be found The files themselves are organized in the same order as the index; alphabetical order by organizational name. Once the availability and appropriateness of the desired organization is determined, it is now time to turn to the files themselves. Each organization is in a separate file. PLEASE LEAVE THE DOCUMENTS IN THE SAME ORDER IN THE FILE IN WHICH YOU FOUND THEM AND BE SURE TO RETURN THE FILE IN THE PROPER PLACE.

  • Then & Now: Albany, the South Mall and a Neighborhood Lost
    Then & Now: Albany, the South Mall and a Neighborhood Lost City Engineer, Public Works Negatives, 1930-1949. From the Archival Collection of the Albany County Hall of Records. The Princess and “The Gut” 89-01830. Private Donor. Netherlands Royal Family Visit to Albany Photo Collection. Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands, Governor Nelson Rockefeller and Mayor Erastus Corning, September, 1959. “The South Mall will be the greatest single governmental office complex history has ever known.” – Mayor Erastus Corning 2nd In September of 1959, Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands came to Albany, New York to commemorate the 350th anniversary of Henry Hudson’s exploratory voyage on the Hudson River at the Hudson-Champlain Celebration. While giving the young royal a tour of downtown Albany, Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller felt embarrassed by the deteriorating South End neighborhood referred to by some as “The Gut,” an area of many dilapidated buildings and vacant structures. Albany Mayor Erastus Corning 2nd told the Knickerbocker News in 1979 that: “Rockefeller thought [the] buildings the Princess and those with her saw were not as good-looking or appropriate for a capital city as he thought they should be.” In an attempt to revitalize Albany and transform it into a city outsiders would deem worthy of being New York’s capital, Rockefeller proposed the construction of a large, modern governmental complex. In order to create this lavish site he envisioned, Rockefeller seized 98.5 acres of land in Albany’s South End through eminent domain in 1962 and demolition soon began. As a result, thousands of families and business owners lost their properties and were forced to relocate.

    Education at URMC – Resident Perspectives Name: Emma Ester Bendaña, MD Hometown: Albany, New York Undergraduate Degree: B.S. in Chemistry & Sociology from Union College Graduate Degree: M.S. in Health Systems Administration from Union College M.D. from Albany Medical College Residency: Urological Surgery Areas of Interest: Cultural literacy and medical education; Global health and policy; reconstructive and pediatric urological surgery Background Information I am privileged to have two hometowns – Albany New York and Managua Nicaragua. I am a Nicaraguan by birth and an adopted citizen of the United States. I became a naturalized citizen during my teenage years. As a result, I was given the opportunity to live in two dramatically different yet interconnected worlds: Nicaragua and the United States. I am fluent in Spanish and English and can easily transition from one setting to the other – not only in language but also culture. In Albany New York, I attended Guilderland Central High School where I dedicated my free time to Varsity Women’s Lacrosse, Cross-country running and basketball. In my sophomore year of high school my parents sent me to study French in Paris for a summer. As a complement to my high school experience in Albany, I completed the last portion of high school at the American Nicaraguan School and continued to pursue athletic opportunities and debate club. After high school, I was accepted into the Leadership in Medicine Program. While at Union, I completed my undergraduate training and masters at Union College. After graduation, I spent a summer in Leuven, Belgium studying at the Katholieke Universiteit and then transitioned into my medical training at Albany Medical College.

  • LINCOLN and the COPPERHEADS in the CIVIL WAR in January 1863
    SNAKES LURKING IN THE GRASS: LINCOLN AND THE COPPERHEADS IN THE CIVIL WAR In January 1863, Abraham Lincoln was confronted with a threat more dangerous than that of the Confederate Army. The Union Army was visibly struggling toward victory with each passing battle and it seemed as if the war was far from concluding. Lincoln’s problems were not just limited to the battlefield, but the president was also burdened in dealing with intense opposition toward his government on the homefront. The threat was the Copperhead movement: Congressional Democrats were banning together in opposition to the war and proposing immediate peace through negotiations with the Confederacy. The Copperhead challenge came at an uneasy period in Lincoln’s presidency as the American public became more hostile towards the war effort. Numerous setbacks for the Union troops and the hardships of the war at home wore at the patience of many Americans and the President himself. The Copperheads took advantage of the public agitation by attacking Lincoln’s actions and character while deeming his expansion of power as unconstitutional and dangerous. Lincoln’s suspension of habeas corpus and use of martial law agitated this political opposition. The Copperheads were successful in gaining support before the election of 1864 through their attacks on Lincoln’s perceived abuse of civil liberties and expansion of power; however, Lincoln’s ability to lead the nation in troubling times, as well as a turn in the tide of the war, prevented the election of a Copperhead president and exposed the weaknesses of the movement. The supporters of the Copperhead movement were quite varied and diverse.

  • Annual Report 2016
    Thank you to everyone who helped the Albany Institute of History & Art to commemorate a significant milestone---the museum’s 225th anniversary. We celebrated the year in style with exhibitions ranging from “Masterworks” and Alexander Hamilton to Rock & Roll Icons, special programming, a new café, art-making activities for people of all ages, a new program for people with Alzheimer’s, community partnerships, and special events such as Hudson Valley Hops, Mummy Birthday, and the Gala. Throughout the year, the museum offered $2.25 admission on Saturdays as a birthday gift to our patrons. We also created a new timeline highlighting the people, events, and objects that shaped the 225 year history of New York State’s oldest museum, which can be viewed on our website. In 2016 we welcomed 33,970 people to the museum, an increase of almost 9,000 people over 2015. The museum’s digital audience has expanded as virtual access to our collections, online exhibitions, and school curriculum materials has increased. Our membership increased by 11%, bucking the national trend. Participation in our art-making activities such as Art for All increased by 93% and 49% for Tute for Tots after revamping program offering and times. Contributions to the museum’s operations and special projects rose dramatically. Technology advancements included Wi-Fi in the galleries and public spaces and a new Smart Board and document camera for the classroom. If you visit our page on the Goggle Cultural Institute, you can take a virtual tour of our galleries. With funding from the New York State Council on the Arts, we installed LED lighting in the galleries, resulting in an annual savings of $9,000.
