Scope and Content Note

This series consists of archival copies of the publicly accessible website of the Office of Counter Terrorism and its predecessor organization New York State Office of Homeland Security, which was merged into the newly created State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services in June 2010.

B2081-07: This accretion consists of a copy of the Office of Homeland Security site that was produced on December 29, 2006, shortly before Governor George E. Pataki (1995-2006) left office. It contains an overview of the state's counterterrorism efforts in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and information about state anti-terrorism and homeland security legislation (2001-2004). It also includes materials concerning homeland security grants for local governments, information about training opportunities for emergency personnel, and a citizen guide to counter-terrorism.

Researchers should note that the links that appear at the top of each page provide access to lists of additional links when moused-over and that none of these additional links work properly. However, the materials associated with these additional links can be accessed by clicking on the main link (e.g., "About," "Making You Safer").

B2081-08: This accretion consists of a copy of the Office of Homeland Security site produced on May 5, 2008, shortly after the resignation of Governor Eliot L. Spitzer (2007-2008). It contains information about homeland security grants for local governments and non-profit organizations, and anti-terrorism information for citizens. Researchers should note that, owing to the structure of the live site and the limitations of Web archiving technology, much of the information contained within this site could not be captured properly.

B2081-10: This accretion consists of a copy of the Office of Counter Terrorism Web site produced on December 17, 2010, shortly before Governor David A. Paterson (2008-2010) left office. It contains information about homeland security grants for local governments and non-profit organizations and anti-terrorism information for citizens. Additional content includes information about training opportunities for emergency personnel, a citizen guide to counter-terrorism, annual reports (2007-2009), press releases (2010), and publications on cyber security.

Researchers should note that, owing to the structure of the live site and the limitations of Web archiving technology, much of the information contained within this site could not be captured properly. Researchers should also note that, despite repeated attempts, the office's Facebook page could not be captured in 2010.
