Description:
A photo of Joseph Gavit at work in the State Library in 1946. A state library worker who began as a junior clerk in 1896, Gavit was integral in documenting what was lost in a fire that tore through the State Capitol on March 29, 1911, destroying vast amounts of New York's history. Gavit's knowledge of the library collection would serve him well in helping to address the fire's aftermath, a task that filled the rest of his career. He was active in the Association of State Civil Service Employees, the original name of the Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA), and retired from state service in 1946 after 50 years.
