Series IV: Commerce and Industry Association, 1873-1978

The fourth series in the collection is arguably the most complex. It is comprised of the records of the Commerce and Industry Association, an organization similar to the Chamber of Commerce in purpose, which eventually merged with the Chamber in 1973 following a decline in both organizations' membership and corresponding influence. Researchers should note that these records date back to 1873; therefore documents from the Merchants' Association, an earlier incarnation of the Commerce and Industry Association, are included. This series is divided into six subseries according to format or purpose; because of this, each individual subseries closely mirrors the series in the New York Chamber of Commerce and Industry collection as a whole.

Subseries IV.1: Administration, 1935-1973

The first subseries contains records related to the administrative tasks of the Commerce and Industry Association. Though relatively small, the subject matter is broad in scope, including a small selection of annual reports, public relations materials, and information on the merger with the New York Chamber of Commerce. Of particular interest in this series are the printed transcripts from the Association's Business Forum Radio broadcasts which ran for several years in the 1940s and billed itself as a "public service program." Additionally, materials related to the Association's merger with the Chamber of Commerce can be found here. Items are arranged alphabetically by subject.

Subseries IV.3: Committees, 1906-1978

Much like the Chamber of Commerce, the Association often formed ad hoc committees to examine current issues relevant to local and national business and industry. This subseries contains the records of several of these committees in existence throughout the 20th century. Committee records are mostly made up of meeting minutes and correspondence; subjects addressed include city laws and regulations, finance, foreign trade, immigration, taxes, and transportation.
