Re: NY State Library and NY State Archives. Forgot to add in last message re: newspapers on microfilm... that... you can do an online search via "WebCat" on the contents of both the library and the archives. Much genealogy and local history material available! Here's the url showing how to use the online search engine at the site. http://www.nysl.nysed.gov/faq/wcguide.htm And here's the url to the WebCat search page. http://nysl.nysed.gov/uhtbin/cgisirsi/Fri+Sep+22+13:16:33+EDT+2000/0/49 Happy searching. debbie CAhobbies@aol.com
