Albany County, 1942-2013 11.42 cubic ft.
This series contains files pertaining to planning decisions in Albany County, New York. There are a wide variety of documents covering county-level planning -- e.g., open space plans, county land use regulations, transportation plans for I-87/Northway, as well as plans involving the airport and the Pine Bush Preserve. There are also plans for specific municipalities within the county: villages, towns, and the City of Albany, itself. For the City of Albany, there are housing studies, community buying guides, economic development strategies, community improvement program reports, land use inventories, downtown development plans, to name a few of the most common document types.
Capital District Regional Planning Commission Records, 1934-2013 55.07 cubic ft.
Albany Typographical Union No. 4, Communications Workers of America Records, 1850-1988 27 reels of microfilm
Minutes, 1850-1988 22 reels of microfilm
The minutes include correspondence, newspaper clippings, committee and convention reports, financial reports, and other material. The 1850-55 minute book ends with a copy of the local's constitution signed by each charter member. The 1892-97 minute book is partially burned, and many of the final pages of the book are water damaged, so it is possible that that 1855-74 minute book merely suffered greater damage and was subsequently discarded. The first few minute books are handwritten into bound volumes; however, by the 1890s many of the sheets are typewritten and glued into the volumes. This technique often reduces the legibility of the record. By the twentieth century, the volumes are bound from loose sheets of minutes, correspondence and other material, and the records are more difficult to use. From 1960, the minutes are filed loose in folders. The minutes from 1960s on contain increased documentation of financial activities.

Minutes of the Executive Board Meetings, 1938-1991 0.17 cubic ft.
The Albany Branch of the AAUW Executive Board (or Board of Directors) is made up of elected officers including the president, two vice presidents, two secretaries, treasurer, and two directors. The purpose of the Executive Board is to carry on the business and administer to the affairs of the branch, establish special task forces and committees and submit the annual budget to the branch. The Minutes of The Executive Board generally run from 1938-1965 and from 1984-1991, and contain the following gaps: 1939, 1941-1947, 1957-1959 and 1966-1983.
American Society for Public Administration (ASPA), Empire State Capital Area Chapter Records, 1952-1989 9.5 cubic ft.
Presidents' Files, 1962, 1964, 1966-1973, 1975-1985 1.5 cubic ft.
This series contains the files of past presidents of the Captital District Chapter of ASPA. At least three of these files--those of George W. Chesbro, Robert P. Kerker and Charlotte O. Gray--appear to have been donated by the presidents themselves. The rest of these files were collected from people other than the president who created the records, but these do seem to be files kept by those presidents. Most of these files are arranged as day files: items within files are in rough chronological order, and contain incoming and outgoing correspondence, meeting minutes, newsletters, announcements, and some notes. For the most part, files under one name contain the records of one president's term, but a few of these files (notably, those for Robert J. Donahue) contain records that overlap with the terms of other presidents and are filed in the presidents' files for the sake of convenience.
