RAMI

The Ezra R. Andrews papers consist of an assortment of documents related to Andrews's involvement with the Rochester Athenaeum and Mechanics Institute (RAMI), now known as the Rochester Institute of Technology. The collection includes administrative documents such as annual reports and correspondence, as well as financial documents related to the university. In addition to operational documents such as balance sheets for various departments, invoices, and budget materials, these financial documents include plans to establish a permanent fund for the Institute. To this end, the collection contains appeals to citizens, as well as correspondence from individuals such as George Eastman and W. S. Kimball.

The collection also includes various pieces of ephemera from RAMI, such as lecture tickets, fliers and handbills, brochures, and pamphlets, along with newspaper clippings.

In addition to the material directly related to RAMI, the collection includes several documents from the Pratt Institute such as course circulars and endowment statistics. There are also materials related to Andrews's involvement in several charitable organizations in the area (e.g. Rochester Orphan Asylum). These documents consist mostly of correspondence and financial records.
