Series III. Publications (1980s-2000), 1983-1990, 2000
Extent
Scope and Contents Note
The Publications, 1980-2000 series primarily includes documents related to the six annual conferences held at N-YHS from 1983 to 1988 on historical themes and the publications resulting from the first four of these. The series includes all original papers distributed to conference participants and presented there, and it includes documents related to the program planning and logistical arrangements for several of the conferences. The names of the presenters and the titles of their papers are noted in the container list below.
The series also includes various later versions of the papers as they were prepared for later publication in compilations based on the conference proceedings, as well as other papers not presented at the conferences but included in the publications. The series includes documents concerning the printing, publicity, and other matters related to the production of the conference volumes. The principal correspondence in the series is between N-YHS and William Pencak, the professor of history at Pennsylvania State University who organized the conference programs for N-YHS and who co-edited the subsequent volumes.
The series includes material related to publicity for the 1987 publication Tales of the Phelps-Dodge Family and minor documents related to Helena Zinkham's guide to N-YHS's Print Room collections and the Perspectives on the Collections of The New-York Historical Society.
Arrangement Note
The bulk of the series is arranged in chronological order by conference year (1983-1988). Within each conference, the material is arranged with the original conference documents, which are principally the presenters' papers, followed by documents related to the later publication based on the conference. The conference documents are followed by a small number of documents concerning other publications.
