Robert M. Morgenthau papers, 1944-2019
190 Linear FeetRobert M. Morgenthau (1919-2019) served as the District Attorney for New York County (the borough of Manhattan) for 35 years (1974-2009) and made a reputation for prosecuting white-collar crime. In this regard, the Papers hold many research files covering such aspects of white-collar crime as money laundering, offshore banking and tax havens. Morgenthau rarely handled a case himself. He delegated prosecutions to key aides in his office of 500 lawyers. Although not comprehensive, the Papers do contain a few files of assignment sheets covering the period (1938-2008). These sheets indicate which bureau each Assistant District Attorney was assigned to each month. The Papers, in turn, do not have any employment information about individual lawyers or the specific cases they worked on while employed in the Manhattan District Attorney's Office under Morgenthau. However, researchers should review "Series VI: Press Releases" and "Series VIII: Statements and Testimonies before Local, State and National Governmental Bodies," in order to gain an understanding of the issues handled by the Manhattan DA office during Robert Morgenthau's tenure.

Comprised of two subseries: Architects and Topical . The first subseries mostly contains newspaper and magazine clippings that reference nineteenth and early twentieth century architects who designed buildings that stood within the New York metropolitan area. Files are sorted according to the name of the architect or architectural firm. Architects who almost exclusively designed structures in Brooklyn are grouped together under the file folder name, Brooklyn, NY. In addition to clippings, some folders contain photographs, negatives, slides, notes, and correspondence. Burnham collected a significant amount of reference and photographic material for McKim, Mead, & White, Frederick C. Withers, and Alexander Jackson Davis. The second subseries contains topical reference files regarding subjects, places, or structures that are located in or somehow related to New York City architecture or landscapes. Most of the material is newspaper and magazine clippings with some photographs, negatives, slides, publications, and correspondence. The Manhattan Parks file folders contain material Burnham gathered for an unfinished project that surveyed New York City public parks and squares. File folders Burnham sorted according to borough, such as Manhattan, NY, or type of structure, like churches, have been maintained in this subseries.
