N.Y. Education Law § 251: Transfers from state officers

§ 251. Transfers from state officers. The librarian of any library

owned by the state, or the officer in charge of any state department,

bureau, board, commission or other office may, with the approval of the

regents, transfer to the permanent custody of the state library or

museum any books, papers, maps, manuscripts, specimens or other articles

which, because of being duplicates or for other reasons, will in his

judgment be more useful to the state in the state library or museum than

if retained in his keeping.
