Hi,

Does anyone have, or know where I can find in archives, historical documents/photos/anything regarding the Central Park Menagerie from 1860-1934?

Thank you!

I have a few items: old stereograph from 1860 showing the pasture; 1866 magazine article illustration;a great number of post cards; perhaps more.
 
I'm fairly sure the Clin Keeling book, "Skyscrapers and Sealions" (Clam Publications) covers the old Central Park Zoo in some detail. Bizarrely, I think, Clin managed to write the book without visiting New York (and he certainly didn't use the internet) -it's hard to imagine any books being written using his methodology ever again.
 
I have a borrowed copy of Skyscrapers and Sealions, and while Keeling cites some of his material, a lot of the citations are unfortunately left out.
