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.

Programmes are titled by the Club's annual themes. Programmes and Yearbooks have a copy of the Club Song, list the paper titles and presenter's name, the names of officers and committee members, and a listing of all active members, associate members, nonresident members, honorary members, and members "in memoriam." Beginning in 1921, a list of reference books, or a bibliography associated with the year's theme, became a standard inclusion. Program Committee files describe the formulation of the yearly themes and the provision of direction and guidance for the subject of a member's paper. The Committee assigns the schedule where members commit to delivering a paper at a scheduled meeting.
