Series IV. Miscellaneous Lists, 1804-1920
Extent
Scope and Contents Note
The Miscellaneous Lists series principally includes lists of members compiled at various times, mostly in the mid and late nineteenth century. Many of these lists include the address of the member and, in many instances, later annotations indicate the death of a member. Many of the lists are undated. The series includes two lists not related specifically to membership: a list of members paying to attend the 1904 N-YHS centennial dinner and a list of subscribers in 1849 to the N-YHS Proceedings.
Arrangement Note
The lists are arranged in rough chronological order. Several of the lists are undated so their dates have been approximated. Several of the lists appear to have been added to and annotated over time and the date range shown does not necessarily reflect the range of those additions. Some of the lists are in chronological order by date of the members' election; the date range indicates the range of these election dates, not necessarily the date when the list or the individual entries were made. [Bracketed] titles were imposed by the archivist because an original title was not found on the list.

Loose Documents from the Catalogue of Members, 1841, 1844

Register of Annual Subscribers(?), 1804-1809, circa 1860s
Scope and Contents Note
Includes entries for a few members, those joining from 1804-1809. The few other notations in the volume are unrelated to memberships; these seem to date from the 1860s and refer to papers read and to items in the collection. The volume's cover is stamped "Stuyvesant Institute," which was N-YHS's home during the 1830s.
