Local History
Collections |
| Finding Aids |
Monographs and periodicals are catalogued. There is a card
index to the vertical files. Some descriptive work has been done on the archival
collections, but it is not complete. |
| Scope |
This collection concentrates on the history of the town of
Bethlehem and Albany County, but also collects materials on New York State. The monograph
collections in both local history and genealogy are quite comprehensive. There are over
forty file drawers of vertical files containing topical clippings on the history of the
area, information about local business and genealogical information. |
