New York State Library: Selected Digital Historical Documents

The New York State Library started digitizing a range of New York government documents in a wonderful online catalog and website. The collection covers a wide range of materials including government surveys, state census results, and first had descriptions of the Native American experience throughout the Empire State. In total, there are twelve collections here, including Laws of New York State and New York State Museum Publications. This last area contains a large set of publications created by museum staff members' investigations into geology, biology, anthropology, and history. Some especially noteworthy publications include "Earthquakes in New York State" and "Biological Diversity: The Oldest Human Heritage." Additionally, the New York State History-Towns and Counties section is quite a find, as it contains county and town histories from the 19th and 20th centuries of Albany, Corning, Troy and Rensselaer County.
