Any of the records held by the New York State Archives in Albany, NY are eligible to be included. Not eligible for support is research in collections held by the New York State Library or New York State Museum, or by other archives, libraries, or local governments located within the State of New York or elsewhere. Proposed projects that rely on records that have been little used and are not available in the Archives’ online “Digital Collections” or in Ancestry.com or on microfilm will receive preference for funding.
