Sinopsis

This comprehensive volume compiles a collection of charters, wills, deeds, and other official documents pertaining to the establishment and governance of three significant institutions: 'the Trustees of the Astor Library,' 'the Trustees of the Lenox Library,' and 'the Tilden Trust.' These entities ultimately converged to form the 'New York Public Library.' The book offers invaluable primary source material for researchers, historians, and legal scholars interested in the history of philanthropy, library development, and the cultural heritage of New York City.
