For
historians and students of New York history and culture
 The
Empire State
A new history of New York State, published by Cornell University Press
for the New York State Historical Association.
The Empire State serves
as a successor to David Ellis' A
Short History of New York State, for many years the standard
one-volume account of the state but today outdated and long out of
print.
It has been over forty years since the last entirely new
comprehensive scholarly history of New York was published.

F. Tantillo is a
fine artist who is a treasure for all students of New York
history. We are fortunate to have someone of his scholarship and
skill to record his visions of New York State. You may visit his
website by clicking on the image of his painting of The
Old Erie Canal, Lock 33, St. Johnsville, New York, circa
1895. |

 The Colonial
Albany Social History Project was
formed in 1981 to understand community life in early America by
studying the contributions of the every person who lived in the
city of Albany during its formative years. The project has
in-progress intensive, biographical studies of each of the
16,000 diverse individuals who founded and built the city of
Albany. The Colonial
Albany Project presents
the story of early Albany people and their world to diverse
audiences in publications, through public programs incorporating
the popular appeal of creative exhibitions, video imagery, and
music, and on its Internet website. This website was originally
developed by internet historian Mary E. Sullivan and is now
maintained by State Museum community historian Stefan Bielinski,
who has spent decades researching this area |
