Graduate Center faculty publications are located in the circulating collection of the Mina Rees Library.Dissertations and Theses The Library holds approximately 14,000 bound copies of Graduate Center dissertations from 1965-2015 from all doctoral programs except Business, Criminal Justice, and Engineering, which were routinely transferred to the CUNY campus library associated with each joint-degree program. Bound copies of all Graduate Center master's theses and capstone projects from 1970 to 2015 are also held by the Mina Rees Library. The Library ceased archiving bound copies in 2015.


The Institutional Archives were gathered in the late 1990s and early 2000s, mainly from sources within the Graduate Center, but some documents came from the CUNY Administration and, via correspondence and copying, from some of CUNY’s component colleges. Paul Perkus, who had been the archivist at CUNY Central for twenty years, conducted an initial survey of records held by GC administrative offices. These were soon transferred and arranged by John Rothman , who served as a volunteer archivist at the Graduate Center for 14 years after an illustrious career at the New York Times . In 2015, the Archives were moved to a temporary location due to construction on the library's C level, and no further additions were accepted until 2023, when the Mina Rees Library restarted its archives program with guidance from New York State's Documentary Heritage and Preservation Services program.

Joseph Buttinger Collection on Utopias:


Joseph Buttinger Collection on Utopias:Joseph Buttinger Collection on Utopias:Born in Bavaria, Joseph A. Buttinger became a socialist and at 24 served as the secretary of the Social Democratic Party of Austria. Imprisoned for several months in 1934 because of his political beliefs and anti-Nazi activities, he finally fled Austria for Paris when Germany annexed the country in 1938 and, in 1940, came to the United States. He helped form the International Rescue Committee, an organization dedicated to helping refugees fleeing from oppression. Only formally educated through sixth grade, Buttinger nonetheless became a scholar and analyst on Vietnam, writing several well-received books. He died in 1992. In 1971, Buttinger donated a private collection of over 45,000 books to the Universität Klagenfurt , but he gave the last part of his utopia collection to the Graduate Center. There are a total of 1,204 titles in the collection, with the majority in English. However, there are large parts of the collection in French (247 titles) and in German (229 titles).

Center for the Study of Free-Reed Instruments Collection, 1947-2011:
The Center for the Study of Free-Reed Instruments Collection is an archival collection which contains materials related to free-reed instruments and the International Concertina Association, donated by Professor Allan W. Atlas. The Center fostered research and provided information on free-reed instruments from 1999–2014 as part of the Barry S. Brook Center for Musical Research and Documentation. The majority of the collection is comprised of periodicals relating to free-reed instruments, research materials, diagrams, and notes. 31 volumes of books (1947-2009) from the donation were added to the library's circulating collection; a complete list of titles is available in the finding aid .


The Deiro Collection is an archival collection of materials related to the professional and personal lives of Guido Deiro (1886-1950), Pietro Deiro, Sr. (1888-1954) and Pietro “Lee” Deiro, Jr. (1913-1999). Guido and Pietro Deiro immigrated from Italy to the United States in the early 1900s and made enduring contributions to the popularization of the Piano Accordion in the 20th Century. As masters of the instrument, the Deiro brothers achieved headliner status on the vaudeville theatre circuit. Both composed, arranged and recorded an impressive repertoire of accordion music. Pietro Deiro Publications produced a catalogue of over 10,000 pieces of sheet music and instructional materials for the Piano Accordion. The Deiro Collection documents not only a singular segment of American musical history but also a unique aspect of the Italian-American experience in 20th Century America.

Digital Murray Hill:
This digital collection is made up of 280 images depicting the Murray Hill Neighborhood in Manhattan. It includes historical photographs as well as newly commissioned ones that show how the neighborhood has changed over time. In 1976, as the United States celebrated its Bicentennial, the Murray Hill Neighborhood Association (MHNA) organized an exhibition of images which depicted how their neighborhood had changed over the last hundred years. That exhibition, which for many years was on display at the CUNY Graduate Center, is at the heart of this digital project of 280 images, which expanded upon the 1976 materials by adding newly commissioned photographs and hiring a graduate student to research the architectural history of each site.

The Opening of the Erie Canal:
The 2005 digital Erie Canal exhibit was a joint venture between the Seymour B. Durst Old York Library, then a part of the New Media Lab, and the 18th Century Reading Room, then a part of the Mina Rees Library. The materials digitized were original primary source documents, reports, budgetary information, maps, newspaper articles, ephemera, letters, broadsides, excerpts from travel books and other printed materials outlining and documenting the construction, development and history of the Erie Canal beginning with a proposal submitted for an inland lock navigation system in New York State in 1792 through the replacement of mule power by mechanized barges in the early twentieth century. These source materials on the Erie Canal were directly related to the history and cultural heritage of New York City and Westchester County, as well as the state of New York and the development and expansion of the United States.

Collection Development The library acquires nearly all items requested for course reserves and for departmental reading exam lists. In addition, librarians manage discretionary funds for subject-related purchases. Librarians collaborate with Graduate Center faculty, students, administration, and with each other to decide upon purchases supporting cross-disciplinary and subject-specific research. Graduate Center librarians take NYPL resources into account when making purchase decisions for the Graduate Center, and when making recommendations for NYPL to develop collections to support GC scholarship. Scope The Graduate Center Library subscribes to journals in electronic format. The library acquires books, scores, and reference works in online formats when available with as little restriction on use and reproduction as possible. Faculty may request a print edition if print is required. Audio and visual recordings are acquired selectively and only in direct support of the curriculum.

Futures Initiative : The Futures Initiative was founded in 2014 at the Graduate Center, CUNY, to offer a new model for graduate education. Focusing on equity and innovation in higher education, the Futures Initiative develops new engaged, collaborative pedagogies that empower the next generation of intellectual leaders with bold, creative, and independent methods for confronting the problems in the world today and thinking through effective, democratic solutions. The Futures Initiative connects research, teaching, and social justice.

Publics Lab: The PublicsLab has two broad goals. The first is to ensure that The Graduate Center’s humanities doctoral programs prepare students for careers both within and outside of academe. The expertise required for humanistic inquiry is vital to understanding the world around us. Through fellowships, internships, workshops, and curriculum enhancement, we strive to provide students with skills and opportunities that will allow them to thrive in academic and non-academic professions.

The PublicsLab seeks to incubate and promote socially-engaged learning and creative, community-based research and to attract scholars who are committed to generating new knowledge that contributes to the key issues of our time. Leon Levy Center for Biography : Established with a generous gift from the Leon Levy Foundation in 2007 as a hub for writers, scholars, students, teachers, and readers of biography, the Leon Levy Center for Biography at The Graduate Center builds connections between independent and university-affiliated biographers across disciplines and cultivates important discussions about the art and craft of biography historically and in our time.

James Gallery : The Amie and Tony James Gallery’s mission is to bring artists and scholars into public dialogue on topics of mutual concern through exhibitions as a form of advanced research. As a window into the research work of The Graduate Center and a hub of international discussion, The James Gallery is central to The Graduate Center’s and the City University of New York’s contribution to the cultural life of New York City. Located in midtown Manhattan at the nexus of the academy, contemporary art, and the city, the gallery creates and presents artwork to the public in a variety of formats.

The gallery works with scholars, students, artists and the public to explore working methods that may lie outside usual disciplinary boundaries. CUNY Arts : CUNY Arts is an initiative founded to create opportunities for all students to experience the richness of New York City’s arts and cultural institutions. CUNY recognizes that exposure to the arts improves students’ critical thinking skills, broadening their ability to think strategically, while acknowledging the absence of the arts in most of higher education. Our mission is to expose CUNY students to the wonders of the arts in NYC.

CUNY BA  Research Guide:
This Research Guide is intended to be used as a starting place for the CUNY BA Program. The CUNY BA is a University-wide, individualized degree. It’s an exciting, versatile, rewarding degree route for highly-motivated, self-directed students whose academic goals transcend traditional majors. Students create their own degree plans by working directly with faculty mentors and academic advisors. Since CUNY BA is a program that works through CUNY, each student has a home college in the CUNY system. CUNY BA students can register to study at almost any CUNY college and department; more here .
