Papers, 1964-1988.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/477250181

Posner's papers were in a state of disarray when deposited; there appear to be large gaps in documentation. The bulk of the papers in the Posner collection are divided between the Assembly years and those with the Workers' Compensation Board. There is relatively sparse coverage of Posner's activities before 1964, including his participation in the civil rights movement. There are reminiscences concerning the Marches on Washington and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., but no contemporary documents. Some 500 photographs, mostly publicity shots of Posner and various New York State politicians, have been separated from the collection and are located in the Wagner Archives Seymour Posner non-print collection (NP45). Eight audio tapes, containing recordings of the Ombudsman program on WEVD as well as speeches by Posner have also been separated to non-print collections. There are no major correspondents, but there are routine papers from John Lindsay, Hugh Carey, Robert Steingut, Arthur Cooperman, members of the Assembly and Abraham Beame. The collection is organized into three series, grouped by the two major divisions in the nature of his work. Folders are arranged alphabetically by subject titles, and documents are arranged chronologically within the folders. The bulk of the collection is comprised of correspondence and clippings, along with legislative drafts, press releases, flyers, newsletters, lists, transcripts of speeches and reports.
