This finding aid was created in August 2008 as part of efforts to catalog and make available for research the archives of the New York Turn Verein (N.Y.T.V.). It contains a brief history of the N.Y.T.V.; select translations of meeting minutes from the founding of the N.Y.T.V. in 1850 and the Civil War era; and a catalog of the archives' contents, which were organized and described by Nora Probst. Much of the information cataloged by Probst has been included in the records accessible in this Omeka site.
