I believe SUNY Geneseo has a collection of Genesee Valley Canal photos in its archives. Try Judith Bushnell, Head Reference Librarian and College Archivist (716/245-5595).

  Dear Mr. Buell:

  Pam Lamont suggested I contact you.  I am trying to find pictures of the Genesee Valley Canal.  This was during the 1840's - 1870. 

  I realize photography was not very widespread but perhaps there are some pictures of people with the canal or structures associated with the canal in the background.

  If you have any thoughts about where to look further it would be most appreciated.

  Thank you.
