Manhattan Borough President, Borough Works Chief and Consulting Engineers subject files circa 1947 to 1963
Description
Under the Manhattan Borough President's jurisdiction during this period (1940s-1960s) was a unit called Borough Works, which had much of the responsibilities of the New York City Department of Public Works at borough level. The material consists of correspondence, memoranda, reports, printed material, and financial records, as well as architectural drawings, site plans, and related material. Borough Works engineers used the material to plan and help administer construction, renovation, and maintenance of borough buildings and infrastructure. The correspondence is between the Office of the Chief and Consulting Engineers and related City agencies, and within the Manhattan Borough President's Office. There is also correspondence copied to the Office between the Manhattan Borough President and the Borough Works and the Mayor's Office, Board of Estimate, and City agencies doing related work. Some material is not foldered. There is a handwritten folder-level inventory of the accession. Arranged alphabetically.
