Series VI. Foundling Administrators, 1869-2001, 1869-2001, inclusive
Scope and content
The series consists of one box of materials by or about directors (known variously as Administrators, Superintendents, and Executive Directors) of the New York Foundling Hospital, and members of its Advisory Board. Materials include, but are not limited to, photographic prints, obituaries, correspondence, memos, a dissertation, clippings, and a photocopied diary.
The first 12 folders document directors who served from 1869-2003, arranged in the order in which they served as directors. Some directors are not represented. These folders are followed by 4 folders documenting the Advisory Board 1869-1970's, arranged chronologically.
Other materials by or about Foundling administrators may be found throughout this collection. See especially Series I, Minutes, and Series III, Administrative Records, Chronological. In particular, Michael Garber (Executive Director 1997-2003) wrote many reports in Series III.
