New York Times Company records. Arthur Hays Sulzberger papers, 1823-1999

Title: New York Times Company records. Arthur Hays Sulzberger papers 1823-1999

Arthur Hays Sulzberger was the publisher of xxThe New York Timesxx from 1935 until 1961 and chairman of the board of The New York Times Company from 1961 until 1968. While he was publisher, circulation of The Times almost doubled; the editorial page developed a reputation for strong opinions; news events were subjected to more analysis and coverage of specialized topics was strengthened; new sections and departments were created for food, fashion, and women; and the overall style of the paper became less rigid and more aesthetically pleasing. The papers document Sulzberger's life and career at xxThe New York Timesxx, with the majority of the collection relating to Sulzberger's 26 years as president and publisher of the paper. Included in the collection are correspondence with family members, friends, colleagues, world leaders, and other dignitaries; memoranda regarding the business of the newspaper, including Sulzberger's notes of praise and criticism to his editors, managers, and writers; reports on his meetings with world leaders, including Winston Churchill, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Harry S. Truman; and photographs of Sulzberger, his family, business trips, vacations, and The Times' buildings.

Title: Records of the Office of the Chief of Transportation. 1917 - 1966. Photographic Albums of Prints of Hampton Roads Port of Embarkation

This series consists of prints selected primarily from Army Signal Corps photographs with some Navy photographs, to represent a visual historical record of the activities at the Hampton Roads Port of Embarkation, Newport News, VA. The photographs were taken from September 1942 through December 1945. Some of the subjects are aerial views, athletics, ceremonies and reviews, debarkation, embarkation, equipment, military units, personnel, prisoners of war, ships, supplies, war dogs, and wounded. There are many photographs in this series of women in uniform and civilian dress working as part of the Women's Army Corp and the American Red Cross. Throughout this series there are photographs of the post commander, Brig. General John R. Kilpatrick. Other personalities include Benjamin O. Davis, Jr. (336-H-9-L-5960), heavyweight boxing champion Sgt. Joe Louis Barrow (336-H-8-J-4338; 336-H-J-8-4040; 336-H-E-4299), and Private Richard "Red" Skelton (336-H-26-L-13235). All photographs in this series have an item number on the back of the print, and most photographs are captioned. The captions for albums 1 through 9 are located on the back of the previous photograph. In other words, when one opens an album, the caption is on the left page and the photograph is on the right page. The captions for albums 10 through 33 have been removed from the albums due to poor adhesive, photocopied in order, and placed in Box 18 of this series.
