Collections : [Avery Drawings & Archives]

The collection consists primarily of New York State Urban Development Corporation (UDC) reports and proposals. The bulk of the material dates from 1967 to 1974, however, there is some material that pre and postdates this period. The collection also contains some reports created by entities outside the UDC such as the New York City Planning Committee and various other NYC urban development community programs. The collection is arranged chronologically.

This collection documents the life and career of J. Max Bond, Jr., one of the most influential and prominent African-American architects and educators in the United States. The collection primarily documents Bond's professional activities rather than his building projects; however, the collection does contain project records and office records. The collection is made up of six series: Office Records, Personal Papers, Faculty Papers, Professional Papers, Project Records, and Reference Materials.

This collection includes correspondence, printed materials, financial records, meeting minutes, reports, legal records, architectural drawings, site plans, and photographs created and collected by the Lincoln Square Community Council between circa 1953 and 1981. Records also relate to the local application of local, state, and national legislations for urban development, such as fair housing, slum clearance, and urban renewal programs.
