Series XVII. Published Books, 1951-2001

Scope and content

The series consists of 14 books, kept by the Foundling for historical research. Twelve are published or self-published books, one is a photocopy of a published book, and one is a self-published manuscript.

One book (Gottlieb/Yaffa) is about the New York Foundling Hospital as a whole. One book (by Cardinal Spellman) is a novel about a ward of the Foundling. Two books (Earley) are about the Sisters of Charity. One book (Walsh) is about St. Vincent's Hospital. Two books (Gordon and Brophy) are about the Foundling's "Arizona Incident" in 1904. Seven other books are about the orphan train, and most of these were published via the Orphan Train Heritage Society of America. There are duplicates of some of these orphan train books, as well as related books, in the Children's Aid Society Records, 1836-2006 (bulk 1853-1947) at the New-York Historical Society.

The books are arranged alphabetically by title.
