Schenectady County Public Library.

Moderator, NYHIST-L


I am pleased to announce a major new addition to the Schenectady
Digital
History Archive.

Jonathan Pearson's _A History of the Schenectady Patent in the Dutch
and English Times, being contributions toward a history of the lower
Mohawk Valley_ was published in 1883 and is one of the seminal works on
Schenectady history and genealogy, containing detailed discussions of
the original settlement, lists of landowners and maps.  Descriptions
of
Dutch culture in early New York and regional events of the colonial
and
revolutionary periods make this a useful resource for upstate New York
history beyond the borders of Schenectady County.

The Schenectady Digital History Archive, a service of the Schenectady
County Public Library, has been making Schenectady County history and
genealogy available online since 1996.
