Part of Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai records

This collection consists of numerous subject files that document the activities of the Jacobi and Levy Libraries prior to the 1983 appointment of Lynn Kasner Morgan as Library Director. (Levy Library records from 1983 onwards are located in the Records of the Library Director’s Office. Some series, particularly material related to Library seminars, overlap both collections. In these cases they have been filed with the post-1983 records.)

The pre-1974 Jacobi Library and Basic Sciences branch library are documented by various files of internal records and ephemera, including usage statistics, newsletters, bookplates, and lists of recent acquisitions. Of particular note is a 1946 inventory of the Library’s collections. The creation of the modern Levy Library is represented by several files that document the planning of the Annenberg Building facility and the hiring of Alfred Brandon as consultant and eventual director. The collection also includes material on Gustave Levy’s charitable contributions to the new library and the 1974 dedication ceremony in which the Annenberg Building facility was named in his and his wife’s honor.

Several files document exhibits that were displayed in the Levy Library’s exhibition space. These include a 1976 file on the acquisition and display of memorabilia from the Lascoff family pharmacy and a file on the Philip Reichert, MD Collection of vintage diagnostic medical instruments, both of which are no longer at the Levy Library.
