Morris Gerber Collection—Supplemental Albany Institute of History & Art Library MORRIS GERBER PHOTOGRAPH COLLECTION 1860-1970s bulk, 1910-1960 23 lin. ft., 47 boxes Series I. Street Views Series II. Subjects Series III. Photo Acquisition of 1983 2002 Biographical Note Morris Gerber was a typesetter at the Albany, NY newspaper, the Times-Union. The collection was assembled by Morris Gerber from the archives of Stephen Schreiber and William Klein, both Albany photographers; discards from the Albany NY newspaper Knickerbocker News morgue and purchases. Photographers in the collection include: Stephen Schreiber; William Klein; Fellowcrafts Studio; Joseph H. Winchell III; Ed Driscoll; Robert Wilder; Roberta Smith; Joe Higgins; Bernie Kolenberg; Ray Joy; Morris Gerber. Scope and Content Note The Morris Gerber Photograph Collection represents a significant documentation of the architectural, social, cultural and economic development of Albany's history from the 1860's into the 1970's, although the bulk of the collection covers the 1910's through the 1950's. Views include building interiors and exteriors, action photos (such as fires, floods, parades, and building construction), urban and suburban residences and businesses. The collection provides researchers with photographic documentation of a wide variety of public and private spheres of human activity in Albany ranging from city sponsored parades to life in a suburban home. Concentrated mostly in the second quarter of the 20th century, the images depict the growth of some of the more "suburban" neighborhoods in Albany (such as Pine Hills) and the flourishing and decline of certain types of businesses. The Morris Gerber Photograph Collection provides a valuable record of streetscapes and facades that have been altered or have vanished over the years. The collection contains: approximately 12,500 black and white 8 x 10 in. silver gelatin photographic prints approximately 600 8 x 10 in. glass plate negatives approximately 3,400 black and white 8 x 10 in. film negatives approximately 13,000 black and white 4 x 5 in. film negatives (unprocessed) Many of the photographs were used in publications so they have annotations, crop marks and retouching; condition varies widely due to their former lives; some images are poorly exposed or focused. Duplicates exist. This finding aid covers only the photographic prints. The 8 x 10 negatives have been processed and foldered but not described here. The 4 x 5 in. negatives are unprocessed. The Morris Gerber Photograph Collection holds 969 folders, each of which contain approximately 15 photos. An additional 370 prints – mostly 8 x 10 in – that Mr. Gerber delivered to the Library subsequent to the initial processing are contained as Gerber Supplement, and follow the catalogue for the main collection. Series I, STREET VIEWS, is contained in 266 folders, or about one-quarter of the collection. The series is arranged in alphabetical order by street name. Order within the folders generally follows a pattern of starting addresses (low numbers) to end of the street; this applies especially to the larger streets ie., Broadway, North Pearl, and State Streets. Street views are defined as images of streets (at street level), intersections, street repair, crowds, sidewalk activity, storefronts, buildings, homes, realty photos, and businesses. A business photo will be included in the appropriate street address folder unless it is accompanied by ten or more related photos; then it qualifies for its own folder under the business name. Photographs of unidentified streets can be found in Box 44. Series II contains images filed by SUBJECT categories. There are 703 folders in the series that make up seventy-five percent of the 8 x 10 collection. The subject categories are listed and stored in alphabetical order. Sub-headings within the individual subject categories (such as Churches - St. Peter's) will generally be listed and stored in alphabetical order. A very small portion of this collection contains images of towns and villages outside of Albany. Any images outside of Albany will be housed in a folder with its town or village name. These folders are created for groups of ten or more images from a single town or village, otherwise, they are placed in folders under the heading, "Outside Albany." Series III holds prints purchased from Mr. Gerber in 1983. Series I.

    Constitutional Council for the Forest Preserve UC0055 1 of 1 Constitutional Council for the Forest Preserve 1966-1976 UC0055 QUANTITY: 2 boxes ACCESS: Open to research ACQUISITION: PROCESSED BY: Margie Amodeo Biographical Note: The Constitutional Council for the Forest Preserve formed in January 1966 as a coalition to be prepared challenges to Article XIV at the New York State Constitutional Convention. It was designed to serve as a liaison at the time of the Convention and in May 1968 elected to continue serving to alert organizations state-wide to a variety of concerns that related to the problems of the Forest Preserve. When the coalition was founded, officers from over fifty organizations joined along with the individual memberships were issued. Proposed changes to the constitution were bundled and voted on as a whole and rejected by every New York county. The CCFP continued to function as a group seeking to maintain Forest Preserve protection within the state constitution. As of January 1971, the Council consisted of 138 members. The officers included David Newhouse (who would also become an advisor to the TSCFA), David Sive, Arthur M. Crocker, R. Watson Pomeroy and William K. Verner. The consortium was dissolved in 1976 because as David Newhouse, CCFP Chairman, writes, “its function is now fulfilled by other organizations such as EPL and The Adirondack Council.” Any remaining funds were transferred to the Adirondack Council. Scope and Content Note: This Collection includes evidence of not only the internal discussion informing the opinions and decisions of this group of environmentalist leaders but letters and statements from members to political leaders.

  • 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.

Itinerary Once we leave New York City, we will head to Albany directly. In Albany downtown, we will visit The New York State Museum which was founded in 1836. The collections of the New York State Museum include geological samples, paleontology specimens, historic materials, and art. Their anthropological collections are extensive, and include the collections of several early and well-known anthropologists, including Lewis H. Morgan and Arthur C. Parker. Then, we will move to The Tulip Festival is held in every spring at Washington Park. Thousands of gorgeous tulips will bloom in May, which is the reason the Tulip Festival is a famous event during Mother’s Day in Albany.

Housing the New York State Legislature, it is located in the Empire State Plaza on State Street in Capitol Park.
