Scope and Content Note

Clipped newspaper articles and editorials relating to all aspects of Thruway construction, openings, and operations. Articles come from newspapers all over the State. Also included are occasional copies of news releases.

These clippings were collected by the public information office to monitor the effects of the public relations campaign mounted by the Thruway Authority. These files also serve as a record of progress in the construction and continuing operations of the Thruway. Clippings are filed under a variety of subjects ranging from names of prominent individuals connected with the Thruway, to the names of communities along the Thruway corridor, to general subjects such as "economic effects," "bonds," "facilities," and "safety."
