Records concerning the accession of this collection are limited. Some records indicate that this collection was accessioned in 1910. However, no fire damage is present in the items, which would be present from the 1911 New York State Library fire. In the accession records a notation was made in 1966 with the date "Nov. 1927." With the most recent item in the collection dated March 9, 1920, the 1927 accession date is more probable.
This collection appears to contain items from both Henry Pitt Phelps and George Hornell Thacher's extra-illustrated copies of The Players of a Century: A Record of the Albany Stage and Addenda to Players of a Century: A Record of the Albany Stage, Including Notices of Prominent Actors Who Have Appeared in America. Thacher died in 1929, and so it is probable that this collection passed from Phelps to Thacher when Phelps died ca. 1912-1914.
Henry Pitt Phelps was born July 13, 1844 to Dea. Benjamin Phelps and Beula Sophia Pitt in Becket, Massachusetts. He was the second of four children. It is not known when Phelps moved from Becket to Albany, New York. However, in 1879 Phelps was writing regular articles on the history of the Albany stage for the Albany Argus. The articles were then compiled, embellished, and published as The Players of a Century: A Record of the Albany Stage in 1880.
On June 14, 1881, Phelps married Anna P. King, who was the step-daughter of Harvey Phelps, a relative of Henry Pitt Phelps. King also wasraised in Becket, Massachusetts. They had no children.
During the decade after he married, Phelps remained in the Albany area writing for several local newspapers, most principally the Albany Times, and publishing several works about the region, including The History and Description of the Capitol at Albany (1882), Menands: the Garden Suburb of Albany and Troy (1886), and The Albany Rural Cemetery: Its Beauties, Its Memories (1893).
In 1889 Phelps published his Addenda to Players of a Century: A Record of the Albany Stage, Including Notices of Prominent Actors Who Have Appeared in America in which he expanded upon the original volume. In 1890 he published Hamlet from the Actor's Standpoint: Its Representatives and a Comparison, which is a compilation of interviews and critiques of the most famous Hamlets of the stage, as well as a description, comparison, critique, and scene-by-scene analysis of different productions of the play.
Sometime between 1890 and 1899 Phelps moved to New York City. During this time he wrote travelogues and historical and literary guides for several railroads, traveling as far as Los Angeles and San Francisco. By 1911 Phelps had moved to Ridgewood, New Jersey, where he penned his last publication: Ridgewood, New Jersey, and Why (1912), a sales pitch for the city of Ridgewood's many virtues.
An exact date of death is unknown for Henry Pitt Phelps; however, it is known to be between 1912 and 1914.
George Hornell Thacher was born in Albany, New York, on November 20, 1851, to George Hornell Thacher and Ursula Jane Boyd Thacher. Both Thachers – father and son – served as mayors of Albany. Thacher attended Professor Whitbeck's private school at Williams College (Class of 1872). He later attended Bryant and Stratton's Commercial College where he was enrolled in a brief business course. After completing his education Thacher began work at his father's wheel works firm, Thacher, Lathrop & Company, as a clerk and apprentice, later rising to the role of foreman. On January 1, 1880, Thacher married Emma Louise Bennet (1832-1927) of Albany; the couple had seven children.
The newlyweds traveled to Colorado to chase the mining dream. In late 1883 the Thacher family returned to Albany, where Thacher became a partner with his father in George H. Thacher & Company. Upon the death of his father in 1887 Thacher's brother, John Boyd Thacher, joined the company where he worked until his death in 1909, when George became the sole proprietor of the firm.
In 1887 Thacher succeeded his father as a member of the board of directors for Old Albany City National Bank, later serving as vice president and president of the bank. Sometime around the turn of the twentieth century Thacher became vice president of Albany City Savings Institution, director of the Union Trust Company, and director of the National Commerce Bank of Albany. Thacher became president of City Savings Bank in 1925 and held the post until his death. From May 1892 until December 1894 Thacher served as a member of the Albany city board of water commissioners. He was a member of several clubs including the Fort Orange, Canoe, and Camera and Country clubs, as well as being a thirty-second degree Mason. George Hornell Thacher was well known in the community as an avid promoter of industrial and institutional welfare until his sudden death in May 1929.
