Rockefeller Archive Center makes downtown Manhattan historical records available. The Downtown-Lower Manhattan Association (DLMA) archives, acquired by the Rockefeller Archive Center in 2000, have been fully processed and are now open for public research. Founded in 1958 by Rockefeller University Life Trustee David Rockefeller, the DLMA is a nonprofit association established to study and address issues of business, cultural and community development in Lower Manhattan and foster collaboration among the public and private sectors and government agencies to achieve cooperative urban renewal. Among the many city landmarks that the DLMA helped to plan and build in its first 50 years are Battery Park City, the South Street Seaport and the World Trade Center. The DLMA collection, for anyone interested in the modern history of New York City, encompasses 85.5 cubic feet of archival material and about 2,000 accompanying photographs. Questions about the collection can be addressed to Senior Archivist Robert Battaly, battalb@rockefeller.edu; more information is available at archive.rockefeller.edu.

Save paper by opting out of campus mailings. In support of the university’s green initiative, Communications and Public Affairs now offers the campus community the choice to opt out of receiving certain university printed materials, including the Peggy Rockefeller Concerts brochure, the telephone directory, the Zagat Neighborhood Pocket Guide and BenchMarks — which is available online at benchmarks.rockefeller.edu. To access the opt-out system, go to www.rockefeller.edu/pubaff and select the “Publications Opt-out” link under the “Marketing Communications” section. Those who choose not to receive mailings will help reduce paper waste and save costs. Preferences can be modified at any time. For more information, contact Alyssa Gelbard, x7080 or gelbara@rockefeller.edu.
