New York Times Company
Arthur Hays Sulzberger was the publisher of xxThe New York Timesxx from 1935 until 1961 and chairman of the board of The New York Times Company from 1961 until 1968. While he was publisher, circulation of The Times almost doubled; the editorial page developed a reputation for strong opinions; news events were subjected to more analysis and coverage of specialized topics was strengthened; new sections and departments were created for food, fashion, and women; and the overall style of the paper became less rigid and more aesthetically pleasing. The papers document Sulzberger's life and career at xxThe New York Timesxx, with the majority of the collection relating to Sulzberger's 26 years as president and publisher of the paper. Included in the collection are correspondence with family members, friends, colleagues, world leaders, and other dignitaries; memoranda regarding the business of the newspaper, including Sulzberger's notes of praise and criticism to his editors, managers, and writers; reports on his meetings with world leaders, including Winston Churchill, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Harry S. Truman; and photographs of Sulzberger, his family, business trips, vacations, and The Times' buildings.

Persinger, I. A. (Isaac A.), 1864-1941

This unique manuscript was created by A. Persinger, a barber at the Bungalow barber shop in Fredonia KS, in the 1930s. It served as an archive of cut and pasted comic strips (primarily Roy Crane's influential adventure comic, "Wash Tubbs"), a daily diary and sketchbook for Mr. Persinger, and an autograph and sketch book for his clients. Mr. Persinger's hand can be seen throughout the book, both metaphorically in its overall construction and literally in his distinctive writing style and original drawings. The content spans 10 years, during all of which time the book was kept in the Bungalow.

This collection, collected and donated by Hudson resident Willam E. Kline, documents the activities of The Playhouse in Hudson, NY during its heyday in the first quarter of the 20th century. The collection contains two scrapbooks and 42 programs from live performances (including dance, music, vaudeville, plays, and musicals) and movie screenings, dating from 1917 to 1926. Many of the programs represent shows put on by the Hudson Elks’ Minstrels, who performed annually for some consecutive years. The scrapbooks also include ephemera related to the final years of World War I, such as a program for “Soldiers Homecoming Celebration” at The Playhouse on Sept 9, 1919, newspaper clippings, and a pamphlet explaining War-Savings Stamps from 1917.
