Researching New York 2018

We again are  This year we are pleased to partner with our longtime partner, The Archives Partnership Trust, to present an expanded conference exploring all aspects of New York State History.  Planning is underway for an expanded program with additional  sessions at the NYS Museum, including workshops and other  opportunities for secondary school teachers.

Many of you have asked whether there is a specific conference focus or theme this year–there is not. for 2018 we encourage everyone to consider the vast history of New York — and the many ways to tell the stories of New York as we hope to do as well.  We’ll have more on that, along with registration information in September.

 The conference is sponsored by the University at Albany Department of History & History Graduate Student Assn., University at Albany M.E. Grenander Special Collections & Archives, and the New York State Archives Partnership Trust with additional support from the Fenimore Art Museum and the New York State Museum.
