Collections

The collection consists of posters acquired by Immanuel Wallerstein which document liberation movements in numerous African countries. Accession 2015-M-001 contains material from a 2008 exhibit on the posters.

Photographs, slides and negatives primarily of South Africa and the anti-apartheid movement. Some supporting material on photo cooperatives and the shooting death of Abdul Shariff, one of the photographers represented in the collection.

The records, which include correspondence, financial and legal papers, checks, and printed matter, are incomplete; they begin in 1911, when the association was incorporated, and end in 1920. They consist of two separate files, one kept by the secretary and one by the treasurer, as well as some general and miscellaneous papers. The collection does not contain Schwab's records, nor De Forest's, nor the minutes of the directors' meetings. The general papers include prospectuses describing the work of the Improved Housing Association of New Haven, and numerous summary financial statements. These papers are arranged chronologically, while both the secretary's records and the treasurer's are arranged alphabetically by correspondent. Secretary Berman's records include correspondence with the National Housing Association, and with other "model home associations" and "workingmen's dwelling enterprises" in various cities. There is also correspondence with the association's officers and supporters, and materials describing its formation and work. The treasurer's records, which form the bulk of the collection, are mostly from Day's tenure. They constitute a detailed financial record of the association, documenting the rental and maintenance of its houses, as well as its sales of stock, acquisition of further real estate, and tax payments.

Notes, poems, and a journal representing Increase Tarbox's student years including those at Yale and a manuscript for a book of hymns and poetry.
