For copies of gala programs, please see Subseries III.6 - Office of Development - Printed Matter.

An index to the annual reports is available to researchers at the New-York Historical Society manuscript department.

The subseries contains seven boxes of memoranda, reports, grant proposals, correspondence and related materials from the office of Graham Windham's President and Chief Executive Officer Joyce Lapenn, from 1989-1996.

On July 1, 1967, the New York State Legislature established the Greenburgh-Graham Union Free School District on the campus of Graham School in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York, to provide specialized education to the children under its jurisdiction.

The subseries consists of minutes and related materials of meetings of the Board of Education of the Greenburgh-Graham Union Free School District 1997-1999 and minutes and materials from the School Board Nominating Committee 1996-2001, and various materials from the Graham School 1970-2009, including printed materials and materials that were kept at the Graham School but are related to other programs.

The School Board Nominating Committee minutes and related materials are arranged first, followed by the GGUFSD Board of Education meeting materials, in boxes 50-52. The Board of Education meeting materials had been bound in binders as board packets, marked with the name of Poul Jensen, Vice President of the Board. The original binders have been discarded, and all materials assembled in binders have been re-foldered in archival folders in the same arrangement. Most board packets include minutes of the previous meeting, an agenda for the upcoming meeting, and supplementary materials. Materials in boxes 50-52 are closed to the public for a period of 100 years from the date of their creation.

The subseries also contains mixed materials (mainly printed matter) from the school including school newsletters 1974-1986 and 2008-2009; examples of student work from the 1970's; a brochure, staff handbooks, invitations and other printed material; and clippings and articles, all in Box 53. Box 54 contains other administrative materials related to the school, as well as to other programs of Graham-Windham and the agency in general. These materials include procedural instructions, newsletters, and informational materials. They have been kept in original order.

The subseries concludes with school yearbooks 1989-2008.

Additional pre-1977 school brochures may be found in Series 1.8 - printed matter, while other brochures from after the 1977 merger may be found in Series III.6 - development department printed matter.

The Office of Development at Graham Windham is responsible for all fundraising and public relations. Material from the department has been subdivided into four subseries (III.6-9) based on material type. Printed materials produced and/or collected by the Office of Development have been arranged as subseries III.6.

A few folders in the subseries include memos, notes, or correspondence related to the printed matter; however, most memos, notes, reports, correspondence and other administrative material of the Development Department is arranged in subseries III.7.

Materials in Subseries III.6 are arranged by type in the following order: event programs and invitations 1986-2010; informational and fundraising pamphlets, brochures, fliers, advertisements and miscellaneous printed matter 1980-2006 and undated; alumni newsletters 1994-1997; employee newsletters 1994-1996; newsletters for the general public 1983-2011.

This subseries, Subseries III.7, consists of memos, correspondence, notes, reports, drafts, and other administrative materials, created and/or kept by the Office of Development of Graham Windham. The Office of Development arranged the materials roughly by subject. Subjects are in no particular order. Subjects include memos regarding events and benefits (i.e. galas, alumni reunions), publications (i.e. annual report drafts, brochure drafts, public service announcements), Graham Windham sites (i.e. Hastings campus, Manhattan Center) and miscellaneous topics related to programs and services (i.e. adoption, volunteers). While most of the printed matter (brochures, etc.) kept by the Office of Development is in Subseries III.6, there is also a small amount interfiled with the materials in this subseries. Original folder titles have been maintained.

Restricted materials have been separated to two boxes at the end of this subseries. Records in these last two boxes, Boxes 76 and 77, are closed to the public for a period of 100 years from the date of their creation.

Subseries III.8 is the third of four subseries of materials from the Graham Windham Office of Development. The subseries contains nine boxes and three binders of press releases, articles, and clippings produced and/or collected by the Office of Development. Materials are arranged sometimes by subject and sometimes by date. In general, with a few exceptions, press releases are at the beginning of the subseries, followed by clippings and articles. The three binders of clippings are arranged at the end of the subseries, and include clippings that pre-date the merger of Graham and Windham. All other materials are from 1977-2010, with the majority of materials from the 1990's. Materials from earlier dates are sometimes arranged after later dates. Original folder titles have been maintained.
