Last April, the NYG&B in Manhattan invited us to see their second Digitization Center in Syracuse, where historical records for BHS, the town of Fremont, and Sullivan County Historical Society were digitized. This video describes the project and the NYG&B's continuing digitization effort across New York State.

Learn about our Central New York Digitization Center in Syracuse and our partnership with the William G. Pomeroy Foundation to make this happen.

This summer we took part in the New York Study of Public and Private Museums. It's like a census of all chartered museums in the state, conducted by Empire State Development, NYS Council on the Arts, NYS Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, NYS Department of State, and the NYS Education Department. You can learn more about it at the meeting!

All who are interested in the history of the Upper Delaware River Valley and its environs are welcome. We hope to see you there!
