The New York Genealogical and Biographical Society was founded in 1869 to collect and disseminate information on the history and genealogy of American families. The small amount of records in this collection consist chiefly of letters written to the Society in 1901. Most are addressed to Society's secretary, Hiram Calkins, Jr. or treasurer Henry P. Gibson. Many concern membership in the NYG&B, subscriptions to or purchases of its publications. Some replies from Calkins are also present. There are accounting records and insurance policies, 1900-1901 as well as a postcard to and accounts kept by treasurer George H. Butler, 1884-1886 less

The Mercantile Collection, 1726-1950, is a synthetic collection documenting mercantile and other business activities from the early-17th to the mid-20th centuries, especially in the northeastern United States. It consists of papers and records created by persons, firms, and companies engaged chiefly in trade, finance, insurance, mining, railroad management, shipping, and whaling. A few items pertain to manufacturing and real estate. Transatlantic commerce in the colonial and early-national period, and the early railroad industry in America, are strongly represented. Notable material includes the assorted papers of New York City and Philadelphia merchants, among them members of the Pemberton family of Philadelphia; Vice-Admiralty court proceedings; and the incomplete ledger of an 18th-century New York City druggist. less
