New Guide for Historians, Librarians and Archivists

The Archives Partnership Trust recently published a new online guide to help public historians, librarians and archivists understand what educators need. Tools for working with educators, understanding the NYS Social Studies framework, and Document Analysis Graphic Organizers are included. For more information, click here.

Head on over to the State Archives' website to enjoy the latest slideshow featuring the city of Binghamton. Our records document functions and activities of State government, but with them we can also see local communities from different perspectives. Explore the Greater Binghamton Area using archival records like a 1951 promotional film imagining of "The Thruway and Binghamton Tomorrow," a 1793-1794 map illustrating the boundaries of the Six Nations following the eradication of Otsiningo, a 1839 survey of the Chenango Canal, and select images showcasing local military contributions, transportation, industry and natural beauty of the area.
