Archived Websites Documenting Other Former Elected Officials

Whenever possible, the State Archives and the State Library capture the sites documenting the work of prominent elected officials just prior to their departure from office. These sites either disappear from the Web or undergo radical change after the departing official’s successor takes office.

Unfortunately, technical problems prevented capture of the Web site of the Office of the State Comptroller before or immediately after the December 22, 2006 resignation of Comptroller Alan G. Hevesi.

Access Problems Affecting All Archived Websites

When you visit these archived sites, keep in mind that some types of site content cannot be archived properly:

• External hyperlinks (i.e., links to content on sites other than the archived site). For example, if a link on the Office of the Attorney General site goes to a page on the State Consumer Protection Board Web site, the link will not work
• Information that can be accessed only after the user completes a form
• Most audiovisual materials
• Some advanced Web formatting and design elements (i.e., external stylesheets and some types of Javascript)

Additional access problems specific to each site are noted below.
