Greenberg House Records

An inventory of the collection at the Syracuse University Archives


Finding aid created by: Halsey Van Allen
Date: 2023



Historical Note

Greenberg House was Syracuse University's academic, alumni, and student admissions and recruitment center in Washington, D.C. from 1988 to 2020. It was named after Paul Greenberg, an alumnus and life trustee of Syracuse University who helped build support for the purchase of the building and donated one million dollars to the endeavor. Greenberg House was sold in 2020 because it was not ADA accessible and could no longer provide the necessary classroom, office, and event space the University needed in D.C.


Scope and Content Note

The Greenberg House Records includes three series:

The Event Recordings series includes DVDs, VHS tapes, and audio recordings related to Syracuse University's Washington D.C. Sports Night.

CDs containing Greenberg House photos can be found in the Photographs series.

The Scrapbooks series is comprised of twelve large scrapbooks primarily containing newspaper clippings and article printouts relating to Syracuse University events and alumni, especially, but not exclusively, those connected to D.C.

Please note that the inventory in this finding aid represents only one portion of the collection. The remainder of the collection is unprocessed, not included in the inventory, and unavailable for research.
