Association of Boards of Visitors of New York State Facilities for the Mentally Disabled "The Visitors" Newsletters

Unarranged.

This series contains 13 volumes of "The Visitors" newsletter published by the Association of Boards of Visitors of New York State Facilities for the Mentally Disabled. This organization oversees the care provided by New York State operated facilities for people with mental health, behavioral health, and intellectual/developmental disabilities. These quarterly newsletters provided regular updates on the psychiatric centers, developmental centers, and developmental disabilities services offices overseen by the state. They also provided updates on advocacy efforts, government relations, and children's services available for patients, clients, and staff at these facilities.

This series was transferred under RDA 90336.

These records were discovered by State Archives staff while accessioning records from the Taconic Developmental Disabilities Services Office. The records were separated and accessioned as a unique series.
