Subject: Three new websites of general interest


> The State Museum announces three new websites that may be of general
interest:
>
> http://www.nysm.nysed.gov/srv/largemarkers/index.html
> A searchable web version of the 1970 SED booklet describing the 139 large
format Historical Area Markers put up at rest areas along the Thruway and
other state roads in the 1960s. This is a great summary overview of regional
New York State History.
>
> http://www.nysm.nysed.gov/herkimerhome/index.html
> A pictorial update of the loan of the Museum's replica Mohawk River
batteau to the Herkimer Home State Historic Site for the summer and fall as
part of the new Erie Canal Schoolboat children's education program run by
Herkimer County BOCES.
>
> http://www.nysm.nysed.gov/srv/starks/index.html
> A project homepage for the rehabilitation of the Starks' Knob Scientific
Reservation - the 1916 donation to the Regents  commonly known as the
State's "extinct volcano". This is also a "check-in" page for our partners
in the Schuylerville area who are cooperating on this project, and their
contributions to it are welcome.
