Background

Scope and Content:

This is an incomplete portion of Governor Rockefeller's Appointments Office correspondence, dating from 1958 to 1970. Only three boxes of alphabetical correspondence are represented, from C through L. There is no record or indication of what happened to the rest of the alphabetical run. The final box of the series is a box of miscellaneous subject files, dating from 1967 to 1970. Alphabetically arranged by topic, this portion of the series is also incomplete. The material contained withing these files may be duplicated within the official gubernatorial record, maintained on microfilm at both the New York State Archives and the Rockefeller Archive Center.

A function of the Appointments Office was to sift through the letters of application received for positions in the gubernatorial administrations.
