New York (State). Commission on Cultural Resources

The Commission on Cultural Resources was created to study the current and long range needs of cultural institutions in New York State following an emergency appropriation of $18 million to assist faltering institutions. Senater Willam T. Conklin was chairman. Proceedings took place at the initiative of (and were partly conducted by) Robert J. Maurer, Executive Director of the Commission. The commission subsequently recommended a permanent program of state support and warned of an impending cultural depression if state and private funds were not continued.
