New York State Modern Political Archive

Elected officials, interest groups, and activists from New York State.
The New York State Modern Political Archive (NYSMPA) was established in 1982 to document the work of individuals and private interest groups concerned with New York State public policy issues in the 20th century. Originally named the Archives of Public Affairs and Policy, the NYSMPA collects, preserves, and facilitates access to primary sources pertaining to New York State public affairs and policy, and now includes the personal papers of members of the gubernatorial administrations of Nelson A. Rockefeller; papers of former New York Congressional members and elected officials who served in New York State Legislature; and the official records and papers of numerous private groups, professional associations, individuals, public-sector labor unions, community groups, and other organizations concerned with Empire State public-policy issues.

This series contains a complete set of Executive Committee minutes documenting the relationship between SASU officers in Albany, and the member schools throughout the state of New York; the relationship between SASU and the Student Assembly; SASU's mission and the strategies used to achieve its goals; as well as the role the Executive Committee was to play in guiding the organization's development. It is quite clear that in the early 1970s Executive Committee members devoted much time and energy towards gaining support in SUNY schools which often did not believe that their needs could be adequately be met by an organization based in the capital. The series also contains minutes from the periodic Executive Committee retreats to reevaluate SASU's mission and the strategies necessary to achieve its goals, as well as the role the Executive Committee was to play in guiding the organization's development. Of particular note are two folders of legislative hearing statements and testimony given by SASU leaders both in Albany and Washington, D.C., on such issues as student unrest, 1972; financial aid (particularly the TAP program); open meetings, 1975; voter registration for students, 1976; and tuition.
