http://www.thedailymail.net/articles/2005/03/17/news/news4.txt Vedder library will retain bound news volumes By Antonio D'Arcangelis COXSACKIE - The Greene County Historical Society has entered a long-term loan agreement with Hudson Valley Newspapers to store 109 bound newspaper volumes - some almost 100 years old - in the Vedder Memorial Research Library in Coxsackie. The library, a non-circulating research center available to the general public, is located just off Route 9W on the society's historic Bronck property. The newspaper volumes include 33 books of bound original Coxsackie Union News editions from 1913, 1914, 1934-35, 1944-45, 1946 and 1949-61; 14 books of bounds editions of The Recorder from 1923-38; seven books of the Greene County Examiner-Recorder from 1938-44 and 1948-49; 23 books of the Examiner-Recorder from 1949-1962; and 32 books of Greene County News editions from 1962-78 and 1987. On Wednesday, Greene County Historian Raymond Beecher gave Hudson Valley Newspapers Publisher Roger Coleman a tour of the library, which houses a wide range of primary and secondary resource material depicting the historical development of Greene County. Beecher, just the county's third historian, explained how the library was built in honor of the first county historian, Jessie Van Vechten Vedder, who literally wrote the book on Greene County in her 1927 publication of "History of Greene County: 1651-1800." The newspaper volumes had previously been kept in Catskill in the Daily Mail press building, but were temporarily moved to Warren Street in Hudson at Hudson Valley Newspapers administrative headquarters. Beecher and the Greene County Historical Society offered to store the volumes in Coxsackie, and an agreement was reached so the books could be used for public historical research.

Now to figure out how to get the obits done!
