Founded in 1982, the LaGuardia and Wagner Archives is a unique resource among CUNY campuses. Named after two transformative New York City mayors—Fiorello LaGuardia and Robert F. Wagner—the Archives preserves and illuminates the stories that shape New York City, with an emphasis on the mayoralty and the borough of Queens. Over the years, the Archives has grown to include more than two million documents and artifacts, and 100,000 digitized photographs, chronicling the city’s governance, public policy, and civic life.
