NNYLN Directory of Archival and Historical Document Collections

Forward

The purpose of this directory is to provide accurate, up-to-date information for researchers, students, teachers and all others who have a need to use archival materials and historical documents in the North Country.

Depositories listed in this directory provide public access to their document collections. Some have regular business hours, others may be contacted and appointments arranged for research access. Some represent college libraries with substantial holdings, others consist of very small collections concerning one town or one topic. All together, the holdings of the repositories represented in this directory weave the rich tapestry of the North Country's unique history, and are available to the citizens of New York State for personal and institutional scholarship and research.

We anticipate updating this directory biennially and are alert to the fact that this 2011-13 directory is not comprehensive.
