ALBANY EVENING NEWS, New York, June 7, 1932 

* Grand opening of the Port of Albany-Rensselaer

The front page has a nice banner headline: "ARMY, NAVY MARCH TO DEDICATE PORT" with subheads and related photo. (see images) Nice for display.
Complete with all 20 pages, light toning at the margins, some small binding slits along the spine, generally very nice.

Background: The June 7, 1932 edition of the Albany Evening News, featuring the bold banner headline "ARMY, NAVY MARCH TO DEDICATE PORT," is a highly significant historical artifact that captures the grand opening of the Port of Albany-Rensselaer as a modern, deepwater seaport. Located 124 miles inland, this monumental public works achievement deepened the Hudson River to allow ocean-going vessels direct access to upstate New York, an economic triumph celebrated with a massive, week-long festival and a major military parade attended by then-Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt during his first presidential campaign. This specific artifact holds exceptional rarity and collector value because it remains complete with all 20 pages, offering a pristine, unfiltered window into the daily life, advertising, and cultural zeitgeist of the Great Depression era. Finding an intact, full-issue newspaper from this pivotal week is incredibly uncommon, as most surviving copies have been lost to time, clipped for scrapbooks, or preserved only on microfilm, making this complete specimen a prime, museum-quality piece for historical display and preservation.
