The following announcement was made by Melissa McAfee (mcafee@NYSHA.ORG), Research Library Director, New York State Historical Association & The Farmers' Museum in Cooperstown, NY: Research Library's Online Catalog Now Available on the Web Cooperstown, N.Y., March 15, 2004- Pathfinder, the online catalog of the Research Library of the New York State Historical Association and The Farmers' Museum, is now available on the web at: http://www.nysha.org/library/ The press release continues, "Named after the principal character in James Fenimore Cooper's novel of the same name, Pathfinder will enable scholars, teachers, students, genealogists, and other researchers to access the Library's catalog via the Internet twenty-four hours a day. Since 1899 the Research Library has developed important collections of primary and secondary source materials in agricultural history, American art and architectural history, genealogy, museum studies, Native American art and culture, and New York State history. The Library's Special Collections Department has a wide variety of materials including rare books, manuscripts, archival collections, maps, broadsides, and ephemera. More information on the library's collections, online resources, and exhibitions is available on our website. Additional records will be added to Pathfinder over the next couple of years as funding for this project becomes available." I hope this information is useful or, at least, interesting.
