Butler, Edward Hubert, 1850-1914. Family Papers, 1880-1976 (bulk 1910-1956).

Title: Family Papers, 1880-1976 (bulk 1910-1956).

This collection contains the personal and business papers of E.H. Butler, Sr., E.H Butler, Jr. and Kate R. Butler. Mr. A. Kirchhofer had hoped to write a definitive history of the Buffalo Evening News (BEN), and had culled what he considered to be the most important materials from both E.H. Butler, Senior and E.H. Butler, Junior collections (before they were sent to the Butler Library). The history was never published, and the materials were sent to the Butler Library shortly after Mr. Kirchhofer's death, in 1987. Rather than attempt to replace the materials in each collection, it was decided to leave it as a separate series in the collection. The collection consists mostly of correspondence and subject files, but it also contains photographs, scrapbooks, newspaper clippings, awards and certificates, family films and video cassettes, Butler Mansion inventory and house information (including appraisal and photographs of the furniture, paintings, and tapestry), materials collected during business trips to Europe, and materials saves from social functions, memorial cards, deeds, various pieces of family memorabilia, BEN cashbooks, ledgers, journals, financial statements, income tax returns, brochures for machinery, stocks and bonds, files on WBEN (radio and television stations), drafts for chapters of the unfinished history of the BEN and Butler family.

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.
