Scope and Content Note

This series consists of archival copies of the publicly accessible websites of the New York State Higher Education Services Corporation, which oversees a variety of financial aid programs for college students and their families. Researchers should note that repeated attempts to capture the corporation's website in 2019 and 2020 were unsuccessful.

B2112-07: This accretion consists of a copy of the Higher Education Services Corporation site produced on December 31, 2006, shortly before Governor George E. Pataki (1995-2006) left office. Researchers should note that, owing to the site's structure and the limitations of Web archiving technology, most of the information contained within this site could not be captured properly. All links on the copy's home page work properly, but none of the links on the other pages work as they should. As a result, only summary information about the corporation's mission and services is accessible.

B2112-08: This accretion consists of a copy of the Higher Education Services Corporation Web site produced on August 26, 2008, shortly after the resignation of Governor Eliot L. Spitzer (2007-2008). Researchers should note that, owing to the site's structure and the limitations of Web archiving technology, most of the information contained within this site could not be captured properly. All links on the copy's home page work properly, but none of the links on the other pages work as they should. As a result, only summary information about the corporation's mission, services, and website policies is accessible.

B2112-11: This accretion consists of a copy of the New York State Higher Education Services Corporation site produced on December 22, 2010, shortly before Governor David A. Paterson (2008-2010) left office.

It also contains articles, publications, and other resources of interest to students, families, and high school counselors on a number of college access, financial aid, and financial literacy topics (2010). It also includes a Student TAP Coach section containing answers to student and parent questions about financial aid requirements (2010)and information about federal and state grants, college and career planning, and grants and scholarships available to current or former members of the military and their families (2010).

This accretion also includes a January 3, 2011 copy of Office's Twitter feed. Owing to the limitations of Web archiving technology, most of the information in this feed could not be captured properly.
