New York State Library. Office of the State Librarian/Assistant Commissioner for Libraries and Director of the Research Library

Hide Profile

At the time that these records were transferred to the State Archives, the State Librarian/Assistant Commissioner for Libraries and the Director of the Research Library shared office space and maintained one common series of subject, correspondence, and administrative records. The coordinator of the State Library's other major unit in addition to the Research Library, the Division of Library Development, reported major activities to the State Librarian but maintained a discrete filing system. By virtue of the State Librarian's oversight of these two major units of the State Library, the files in this series constitute an important source of documentation on the development of library services in New York. The bulk of the records in this series were created by State Librarian Joseph F. Shubert (1977-1996), although some were contributed by State Librarians John A. Humphry (1967-1977) and Janet Welch (1997-present).
