4 volumes, primarily of clippings, concerning the history of New York City from colonial days to the 1930s, though especially 19th century and earlier. The emphasis generally seems to be on buildings, events, and prominent people. It is not known if Stack compiled the volumes, or collected them as is. This first album (in Box 50) is a palimpsest volume, formerly holding invoices of the 1890s which were largely removed, with clippings ranging from the 1880s to the 1920s, and mostly concern the subjects of women in the city, the 1896 police "Sherry raid" involving the dancer "Little Egypt," the sinking of the Lusitania and the Titanic, and the General Slocum explosion. The second volume (in Box 64) ranges from roughly 1829 to 1929 and has ephemera and pictorial works as well as clippings. The third and fourth volumes (in Boxes 64 and 65) are entirely clips and are very unstructured with most of the content consisting of loose items; they range from the mid 1800s into the 1920s and 1930s also. Source: Gift of J.B. Stack, November 4, 1953. (See also below circa 1890 for Stack's scrapbooks on boxing.)

1 volume compiled by Clarkson Maverick (fuller name was William K.C. Maverick), an actor primarily of comedic roles often, judging from some documents in the album, based on Irish characters, masquerades, and minstrelsy. Maverick's inscription at the front of the album says it is "a book for miscellaneous matter, scraps, &c." and is dated April of 1860. Much of the early pages of the album relate to theatre, to Maverick, and to his wife, Persis (Jones). They married in 1874 and she died in 1895. Documents include concert programs, some of which included Maverick (e.g. performances of the Jolly Comedians in Hoboken, N.J.); writings by Maverick; Red Star Line and Inman Line steamship passenger lists; and birthday and holiday greetings. Related clippings are mixed in, most notably for an 1896 event in Windham, N.Y. at which Maverick appeared dressed as a woman and in blackface to recite Lucy Stone Blackwell's lecture on women's rights. Much of the album, though, consists of miscellaneous clippings, related to the Civil War (1860s), Tammany Hall (1880s-90s), literary pieces, anecdotes, and other matter. Some original documents (one dating to 1830) refer to Samuel Maverick, possibly Clarkson's father. Source: Purchase with the Wilbur Fund, February 1945.

1 volume of newspaper clippings compiled by J.E. Brush (1818-1889) of New York City. Though a layman, Brush was involved with several religious (Protestant Christian) and charitable efforts. He was a member of St. Paul's Evangelical Church. Most of the clippings in this album reflect his religious interests and apparently are drawn principally from the "Herald of Religious Liberty." Many of the articles were written by Brush. The articles range from brief announcements of events, such as religious conferences/gatherings, to longer articles about spiritual matters. There are many articles on religious personalities, their appearances/public remarks, obituaries, etc. Brush was on the Board of Control and treasurer of the Franklinton (North Carolina) Mission, also known as the Franklinton Colored School, so several clippings pertain to that. There is a cabinet card photograph of Brush. Source: Inscribed in the album is a statement of its provenance: It was a gift to N-YHS from Thomas Ollive Mabbott in September 1922, who purchased it at a bookstall.

5 volumes plus one book (listed separately above at 1887) compiled by Dr. Sydney H. Carney, Jr., MD. Gift of Dr. Carney, April 13, 1946.

For a time he was on the Building Committee during the initial construction of the Central Park West building in the early 1900s. This third scrapbook primarily includes documents related to Carney's membership and positions of responsbility at N-YHS. Documents in that regard include correspondence from other historical societies, meeting and other announcements, printed lectures, photograph of Librarian William Kelby, acknowledgements of Carney's gifts to N-YHS, and print matter concerning the developing new building. One unique document here is architect York & Sawyer's original design for the trowel used for the groundbreaking. The album also includes documents from Carney's memberships and interests in other religious, cultural, and other organizations. These especially include the Cathedral Choir School of St. John the Divine and programs etc. from several other churches.

Carney's fourth volume holds advertising ephemera. Documents include pamphlets, brochures, booklets, circulars, order forms, handbills, trade cards, letters, etc. Consistent with Carney's profession, the bulk of the advertising relates to medicines, food, treatments, sanitoriums, health/nutrition guides, therapies, and the like. But there is a wide range of other products found here as well, including clothing, banks/financial, cultural events, travel/transportation, etc. Toward the rear of the album are some political ephemera and clippings.

The other three volumes include clippings about Stonebridge, poems and articles that he wrote and were published in the press (e.g., the North Side News), published images of his photography, and ephemera related to his membership in the Bronx Society of Arts and Sciences and other organizations. Overall the documents relate largely to Tremont and other areas of the Bronx. (The volumes were likely donated in 1942 with the photographs, but separated.)

4 volumes of newspaper clippings concerning the sport of boxing and boxers, dating mostly from 1892 to 1902, with some clippings out to the 1930s. The first two volumes were compiled by John J.

1 palimpsest volume. The underlying oversize book is a product catalogue from Desblocker-Block Tailoring Company of Buffalo, NY, for Fall & Winter, 1898-99. Many of the original pages are fully visible, some with the remains of fabric swatches. Other pages were covered by Smith with theatre and other cultural event programs and other ephemera, especially related to Canisteo (NY) High School, from which she seems to have graduated. Especially notable is that several doilies are laid into the scrapbook, with notations on them as to the dinner, picnic, or other event they were used at.

A folder of documents, found on the shelves apart from the scrapbook volume, these seem to be loose documents that likely fell from the scrapbook and were separated at some point.

There is a small notebook with some entries that appear to concern travel to prayer meetings in Boston and in Washington, D.C.

1 slender album of clippings with a religious theme. Most are undated, but those that are dated are 1892, with some perhaps somewhat earlier.

8 volumes of documents related to aviation in the early 20th century, and particularly to the Aero Club of America, balloonists, balloon races, early airplane flight, establishing the first aerial postal route between New York and Washington, DC, benefit events for World War I aviation, and the like. The volumes hold mostly newspaper clippings, but there are also many letters; telegrams; pictorial works/images; original photographs of balloons, balloonists, and other Hawley/aviation-related subjects; balloon ascension records; ephemera; and other documents. An acknowledgement letter to Hawley from N-YHS in one of the volumes indicates that a photograph of Hawley with the Wright Brothers came with the donation, but it is not known if that remains with the scrapbooks or was separated. The volumes do not run in strictly chronological order. Alan Ramsay Hawley (1869-1938) was president of the Aero Club from 1913-1919 and participated in the balloon races documented here. Source: One of the volumes was a gift of Alan R. Hawley, November 5, 1934. The other volumes were a bequest from Hawley, June 27, 1938.

7 volumes of clippings from programs and other documents for symphonies, recitals, opera, vaudeville, and other musical performances, compiled by Frederick T. Steinway (1860-1927).
