Albany Bicentennial Commission
In 1886, Albany marked its bicentennial, based on the 1686 Dongan charter. From July 18-23, the city celebrated in numerous ways such as parades, sporting events, and fireworks shows. Two large-format programs, medals were struck, and a history of Albany was published to commemorate the event as well. The Citizens’ Bi-Centennial Committee was charged with planning the proper celebration of the event. The collection contains programs, ephemera, clippings, correspondence, logbooks, and scrapbooks.
