Gift collection of rare ophthalmic textbooks from the estate of the late Irwin Vogel. Mr. Vogel was an adjunct lecturer at NYCCT before becoming the program director at Cañada College in California. This fine collection of books has been placed in custodianship in City Tech’s Ursula C. Scherwin Library and is located in the archives. Irwin Vogel is credited with an optical formula still in use in opticianry.
Access to view the collection is available by appointment. Please contact Professor Clyde via email - wanett.clyde65@citytech.cuny.edu - and allow up to one week to schedule an appointment.
