The Urban Renewal in New York State collection will soon have a matching physical exhibit for members to borrow and display for one month at a time. This online collection supports the exhibit and includes the 48 inventories that researcher David Hochfelder developed. The inventories describe the Urban Renewal Agency materials held in each community, including Auburn, Corning, Elmira, Hornell, Ithaca, and Oneonta.

SUNY Oneonta librarians had a student worker digitize materials about Jessica Alden, the librarian of the Oneonta Normal School from 1912 to 1944. Besides some interesting mementos from Alden's personal life and career, the collection includes a few canvassing forms; Alden volunteered with a woman's group during World War I to knock on doors in Oneonta and ask households why they weren't subscribed to more Liberty Loans.

Thanks to a 2024 SCRLC Digitization Grant to the Finger Lakes Library System, Cady Library's director (and Town of Nichols Historian), Erica Deretz, was able to digitize the high school yearbooks from their community of Nichols in Tioga County.

SUNY Oneonta's Milne Library worked with the Cooperstown Graduate Program to digitize over 13,000 catalog cards that represent the vast collection of oral histories and related materials created and compiled by past CGP students. The majority of cards correspond to research, including fieldwork and oral histories, conducted by graduate students in CGP’s American Folk Culture track from 1964 to 2000.

This one-day, online symposium for librarians and educators focuses a critical lens on A.I. in the classroom.
