Historic Huguenot Street Secures $349,999 Grant to Create Digital Archives

Thanks to a major three-year grant of $349,999 from the National Endowment for the Humanities, Historic Huguenot Street (HHS) is preserving and digitizing a major segment of its archival collection covering early New Paltz history, along with significant portions of archival materials and records at four partnering institutions – the Haviland-Heidgerd Historical Collection at Elting Memorial Library, the Town of New Paltz, and the Reformed Church of New Paltz. 

The New Paltz Historic Documents project to digitize these archival collections encompasses approximately 8,000 documents (or about 24,000 pages), according to HHS.  Click Here to read the Hudson Valley One article by Susan DeMark.
