Summary:

Title:
Annual reports to the governor and legislature
Quantity:
Inclusive Dates:
1872, 1879-1928
Series Number:
A0580
Scope and Content Note
This series contains reports from a wide variety of state agencies, offices, commissions, schools, hospitals, and other institutions
as well as private organizations required to submit such reports to the governor. From annotations written on some reports
(e.g. "has been sent to legislature"; "need not be transmitted"), some items of correspondence found in the series, and the
fact that some reports are addressed to the legislature, it appears that these are the governor's copies of reports that were
intended to be seen by both the governor and the legislature.
The haphazard manner of filing of these reports indicates that the governor's office made no serious attempt to organize and
utilize these reports. It is possible that these materials were removed from other series for reference by the governor's
office and were never refiled.
A0580-97: This accretion consists of reports of "sundry commissions" not transmitted to the legislature. Institutions represented
include Office of the Board of Commissioners of Pilots; New York State Reformatory at Elmira; New York State School of Clay-working
and Ceramics at Alfred University; Society for The Reformation of Juvenile Delinquents in the City of New York; State Printing
Board; Board of Embalming Examiners; Probation Commission; Board of Pharmacy; State Prison Improvement Commission; State Superintendent
of Elections for the Metropolitan Elections District and the State Water Supply Commission.
Of special note is a fragment of an unidentified alphabetical index which may pertain to agencies or subjects for which reports
were filed with the governor or legislature. Entries are present for letters H, I, K, and W. The fragment is undated and unattributed.
Custodial History
A0580-97: This accretion resulted from a project undertaken by Archives staff in 1997 to accession or reintegrate estrayed
