Adam and Sophie Gimbel Design Library records, 1957-2009 (bulk 1977-2009).

The records of the Adam and Sophie Gimbel Design Library of Parsons The New School for Design consist of administrative files generated by library administrators and school executives. Topics include library collections, facilities, fundraising, instruction, policies and procedures, and staffing, as well as the library's role in school accreditation. While the earliest records document the library's activities in the late 1950s, the bulk of the records dates from the period after Parsons re-located from East 54th Street to 66 Fifth Avenue in 1972.
