New York Heritage: A portal to New York's digital collections

In October 2008, the New York 3Rs Association launched its digital heritage Web site, a research portal for students, educators, historians, genealogists and others who are interested in the New York’s history.

Since launch, more than 2000 items have been added with 5000 more expected to be added by summer.

The gateway connects more than 160 digital collections from around the state, contributed by more than 100 libraries, archives, museums and other cultural institutions throughout New York. It also builds on existing digital repository services administered by each of the nine reference and research library resources councils.
