William Jacob Robbins records, [ca. 1910-1966]

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/155483265

Records include administrative correspondence and subject files. Many records predate and postdate William Jacob Robbins' tenure as Director, and they include records of other NYBG offices and departments. In part this reflects the use of Robbins' files by Henry de la Montagne, Secretary and Assistant Treasurer of the Board of Managers, Business Manager, and, in retirement, volunteer administrator-at-large and administrative archivist.
