{"value"=>"<p>This series reflects Amy Oppenheim's interests in civic affairs, politics and arts. The subject correspondents include the American Women Voluntary Services, the Citizens Union of New York, The New York Public Library, The New York World's Fair 1939-1940, the Republican Party and, several World War I and World War II organizations. The Music Library of the New York Public Library focuses on the Library during World War II (formerly located at 121 E. 58th Street). The Music Library provided outreach services to military men and women. The armed forces were invited to play records, listen to music and use the other services offered by the Music Library. This series includes a World War II color poster (duplicated) that welcomes service men and women to the Music Library. The New York World's Fair 1939-1940 contains material on the Advisory Committee on Women's Participation. Chaired by Mrs. Vincent Astor, the focus of the Advisory Committee was to welcome visitors from the United States and abroad to the Fair. The Correspondence, 1936-1940, indicates Oppenheim's interest in this Committee. Related material includes invitations, tickets and brochures. The Republican Party material represents Oppenheim's political interests as an activist. Republican groups represented in the papers include the Women's National Republican Club, Inc., the Republican State Committee, the Republican Mayoralty Committee, the Republican County Committee and the Republican National Finance Committee. Political correspondents include Katherine B. Barnes (Republican Ways and Means Committee), Will H. Hays (Republican Chairman), Ogden L. Mills (U. S. Representative), Alice Mary Robertson (Representative from Oklahoma) and Pauline H. Sabin (Women's National Republican Club, Inc.). Republican politicians Bruce Barton and Ruth Pratt are significantly represented in the Republican Party material. Peripheral material includes invitations, luncheons and broadsides.</p>"}
