Historic Landmarks Preservation Center, 1956-2023
- Scope and content:
-
Materials related to Diamonstein-Spielvogel's ongoing role as Chair of the Historic Landmarks Preservation Center where she spearheaded the Cultural Medallion program that recognizes buildings associated with distinguished New Yorkers involved in the arts, sciences, the law, business, education, sports and politics. Includes but is not limited to reports, clippings, correspondence, audiovisual materials, printed matter, and notes.
Divided into subseries, Administrative and General Files, NYC Landmarks 50 Alliance (which later became Landmarks 60), Cultural Medallions, and Notable New Yorkers (a book published by HLPC). The subseries are largely arranged chronologically, and overlap exists given the nature of the work HLPC undertook. While files for specific Cultural Medallions are arranged chronologically by the approximate date of their installation, they may contain research materials or correspondence from dates prior to the date of installation. Undated materials are at the end of each subseries. Original folder titles have been retained when known.
