In this collection of primary sources from Cortland County Historical Society, you can see the earnest principles but fiscal mismanagement of a revolutionary college that existed for just a decade in the 1850s, open to any students regardless of race or sex.
This collection was one of our 2023-2024 digitization grants in which SCRLC was both funder and vendor. These yearbooks cover a rural area in Southern Cayuga County and notably include photos of migrant students (children of farm workers).
Hanford Mills Museum, also known as Kelso Mill, is a historic grist mill and sawmill in East Meredith in Delaware County. This collection of theirs shows the mill over the decades, besides views of the village and its denizens.
