ENDOWED LIBRARY PRESERVATION FUNDS
These funds provide opportunities
to make our facilities open and responsive to the people who
use them.
Preservation of the Hawley Building Windows and
Murals Fund
Established in 1995 by the University Libraries and the Friends
of the Libraries to support the maintenance and preservation
of the historic stained glass windows and WPA-era canvas murals
of the Hawley building, which now houses the Dewey Graduate
Library for Public Affairs and Policy, this fund is used for
repairs and special maintenance necessary to preserve these
special features. The Hawley Building is one of the three
original buildings of the New York State Normal College, the
predecessor institution of the University at Albany. The Library
is used mainly by people who do their work in and through
programs at Rockefeller College of Public Affairs and Policy,
one of the nation's premier programs.
Mary Elizabeth Cobb Library Conference Room Fund
Established by Mrs. Miriam Snow Mathes '26 to honor the memory
of Mary Elizabeth Cobb, College Librarian from 1916 to 1956,
this fund is used to enhance and refurbish the Mary Elizabeth
Cobb Conference Room in the University Library. The University
Libraries and the Friends of the Libraries use the room for
meetings and programs that serve students, faculty, and members
of the greater community.
