Administrative History
These records were collected by State Historians James Sullivan and Alexander C. Flick (from 1923 on) in response to a joint resolution of the New York State Senate and Assembly to "collect, collate, compile, edit, and prepare for publication sufficient material, statistics, and data for a history of the State of New York in the World War." Because no funds were appropriated for this work, the envisioned publication was never completed.
The State Historian relied on officially appointed local historians to collect and forward information relating to their communities' roles in the war. Only two-thirds of the state's communities provided the requested information, and very few veterans from New York City are represented in the series. There are no files for veterans from Bronx County.
The New York State Archives is part of the Office of Cultural Education, an office of the New York State Education Department.
