  • From the Vaults, February 2017
    FROM The VAULTS Newsletter of the Georgia Archives www.GeorgiaArchives.org Volume 2, No. 1 February 2017 The Georgia Archives Building State Historian and Archives Director Louise Hays thought that the Georgia Archives would be preparing to move to a new building on the Capitol Square with the State Library and perhaps the Supreme Court as soon as World War II was over. It took another twenty years, a new State Archivist (Mary Givens Bryan), and a new Secretary of State (Ben W. Fortson, Jr.) to complete the white marble structure on Capitol Avenue. The Archives had moved from the fourth floor of the Capitol in 1929 and 1930 to the twenty-room mansion donated by the heirs of furniture magnate Amos G. Rhodes at 1516 Peachtree Street NW. From the beginning it was obvious that a fireproof building designed as an archives would be preferable to Rhodes Hall. Governor Lamartine Griffin Hardman in 1931 proposed carving a giant records storage facility into the core of Stone Mountain.

    Local Government Records Useful in Family History Research by Warren F. Broderick Archives Technical Information Series #31 2002 Researchers of family history and genealogy generally are aware that some local government records may contain information concerning their ancestors. These researchers are often unaware, however, of the wide array of local records that they may consult, and where these useful and important records may be found. This information leaflet was prepared to inform the ever increasing number of persons engaged in family history research, and to illustrate for local officials which sorts of records comprise the most valuable sources of genealogical information. Some series of both federal and state records contain important family history information as well. For information on records held by the State Archives, consult Leaflet #1 for Records in the New York State Archives Useful for Genealogical Research or contact State Archives’ Reference Services Unit, Albany, NY 12230; phone: (518) 474-8955. The following types of records are found at local governments in New York State and are useful for local community historians and scholarly researchers: Birth, Death and Marriage Records (1847–1852, 1880–present) While these officially are considered state government records, official birth, death and marriage records (often referred to as “vital records or vital statistics”) are maintained locally by clerks and/or registrars of vital statistics, acting as agents of the State Commissioner of Health. Other than during a brief period between 1847 and 1852, these records generally were not created by local governments in New York State until 1880. Some cities hold vital records dating from the 1860s and 1870s.

  • 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.

  • Publication Number 69
    New York Heritage Documentation Project A Strategic Plan for Documenting Mental Health in New York State 2001 Publication Number 69 Copyright 2001, State Archives, State Education Department Documents available on the State Archives web site (www.archives.nysed.gov). This plan and other documents related to the Mental Health Documentation Project are available on the New York State Archives web site: Click on Rediscovering New York, then on Mental Health. A Strategic Plan for Documenting Mental Health in New York State The story of mental health in New York State is a compelling and critical part of our history as New Yorkers. But significant elements of that history are in danger of being lost. We have very limited information that reflects the lives and perspectives of people diagnosed with psychiatric conditions or their families; the social workers, medical personnel, and support staff, who provide services and assistance; the state, local, private and community institutions and organizations run by professional, non-professional, and recipient-controlled groups; the range of research and treatment philosophies and approaches; and policy and legislation. Significant developments happened in New York during the 19th and early 20th centuries, but critical developments also follow World War II, and continue today — for example, widespread use of psychiatric medications, deinstitutionalization, establishment of civil rights and legislation to protect mental health service recipients, and the emergence of self-help strategies.. Changes in scientific and popular perceptions of mental health have merged with the economic and political forces of each period to shape mental health policy and legislation, diagnosis and treatment, organizations ranging from large, state-operated institutions to community support groups, and the private lives of millions of New Yorkers.

    New York Research Outline Table of Contents Records Of The Family History Library Family History Library Catalog Archives And Libraries Bible Records Biography Cemeteries Census Church Records Court Records Directories Emigration And Immigration Gazetteers Genealogy History Land And Property Law And Legislation Maps Military Records Names, Personal Native Races Naturalization And Citizenship Newspapers Occupations Orphans And Orphanages Periodicals Probate Records Societies Taxation Town Records Vital Records Voting Registers For Further Reading Comments And Suggestions This outline describes major sources of information about families from New York. As you read this outline, study the United States Research Outline (30972), which will help you understand the terminology and the content and uses of genealogical records. RECORDS OF THE FAMILY HISTORY LIBRARY The Family History Library has most of the records described in this outline. The library has over 50,000 microfilms and continues acquiring additional materials—particularly for New York City and Long Island. Although the Family History Library has microfilm copies of some twentieth century records, most are of pre-1900 records. The microfilm copies come from records at the National Archives and its Northeast regional center, the state archives, county courthouses, church archives, university libraries, and historical societies. The Family History Library's major holdings include federal and state censuses; church records; passenger lists; and land, probate, naturalization, and some marriage records for most counties. The library also has a comprehensive collection of published and manuscript genealogies of New York families. It has few town records and relatively few county records from Long Island (Suffolk, Nassau, Queens, and Kings Counties).
