Administrative History
The Citizens Historical Association, a non-profit corporation chartered by the State of Indiana, was created in 1933. Among the corporation's goals was to "prepare in manuscript form factual sketches, without laudation or editorial comment, regarding people, institutions and events in the various counties of the nation." Upon completion, these sketches were to be filed in the principal libraries of the counties from which the subjects originated, in the state departments of history of the states from which they originated, and in the central files of the association itself. Copies of sketches pertaining to New York subjects were deposited with the State Division of Archives and History.
The New York State Archives is part of the Office of Cultural Education, an office of the New York State Education Department.
