Scope and Content Note

This series consists of archival copies of the publicly accessible website of Senator Rubén Díaz. Researchers should note that in 2009, each Senator was allotted space on the main Senate website and the official sites of individual Senators were removed from the live Web.

B2215-06: This accretion consists of an archival copy of Senator Díaz's official website produced on December 20, 2006, shortly before Governor George E. Pataki (1995-2006) left office. It contains biographical information, photographs, press releases (2006) concerning housing, social services, immigrant rights, same-sex marriage, and other matters of interest to Senator Díaz's constituents. A map of the 32nd Senate District is also included.

B2215-08: This accretion consists of a copy of Senator Díaz's official website produced on June 13, 2008, shortly after the resignation of Governor Eliot L. Spitzer (2007-2008). It contains biographical information, photographs, and press releases (2008) concerning Governor David A. Paterson's May 2008 directive compelling state agencies to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states and other matters of interest to Senator Diaz's constituents.

Researchers should also note that, owing to the structure of the live site and the limitations of Web archiving technology, some of the information contained within this site could not be captured properly in mid-2008. In addition, some of the navigational links do not work properly. However, identical sets of navigational links appear at the top and the bottom of each page. If the link in one set does not work correctly, click the Web browser's Back button and then click on the corresponding link in the other set.
