Christine Ward, head of the New York State Archives and Archives Partnership Trust, will address the Albany Roundtable on Wednesday, April 13. Albany Roundtable luncheon meetings are held at the historic University Club, 141 Washington Avenue at Dove Street in Albany.
 
The New York State Archives holds many of the oldest and most important archival treasures in the nation. Established in 1971 and opened to the public in 1978, the NYS Archives is a program of the State Education Department, with its main facility located in the Cultural Education Center on Madison Avenue in Albany. There it cares for and provides access to more than 200 million documents that tell the story of New York from the seventeenth century to the present.
 
The Archives Partnership Trust, a 501c3 non-profit organization, was founded in 1992 to build an endowment and provide project support to enhance humanities programs, increase access to these outstanding treasures, and continue the preservation of New York's historical records.
 
Reservations for the April 13 luncheon are required by Monday, April 11 and can be made by calling 518-431-1440 (through the Albany-Colonie Regional Chamber of Commerce) or by e-mail at [log in to unmask].

All luncheon participants are invited to enter the Roundtable Raffle by dropping a business card at the registration table.
