Special thanks to Thorin Tritter, who lent his historical and editorial expertise to this series; to Marilyn H. Pettit, Director of the University Archives–Columbiana Library, for her archival support and her generosity in allowing us to tape Professor Jackson in the stately King's College Room; and to the Kraft Center for Jewish Life, for its generosity and tolerance of our cameras. Special thanks also to Felice Rosan, legal counsel on these and all Columbia University DKV e-seminars.

Throughout the creation of this series, we have enjoyed the enthusiastic archival support of the staff of the Avery Architectural and Fine Arts Library, and especially of Janet Parks, Curator of Drawing and Archives; of Claudia Funke, Curator of Rare Books; and of Lou P. di Gennaro, Assistant to the Curator of Drawings and Archives.

We also appreciate very much the help we have received from individuals at institutions outside Columbia University. These include Eileen Morales of the Museum of the City of New York; Marybeth Kavanagh of the New-York Historical Society; Tom Lisanti of the New York Public Library; Paul C. Perkus, Director of the New York City Municipal Reference and Research Center; and Kenneth R. Cobb, Director of the Municipal Archives, City of New York Department of Records and Information Services.

Thank you to the many other people and organizations that provided this e-seminar with material or support.
