Scope and Content Note

This series consists of an archival copy of the official website of Senator Bill Perkins produced on June 12, 2008, shortly after the resignation of Governor Eliot L. Spitzer (2007-2008). It contains biographical information; photographs; a district map; and press releases (2008) concerning Governor Spitzer's resignation, control of the New York City rat population, Senator Perkins's role in restoring state funding for local law enforcement, crime control, mental health programs, and other matters of interest to Senator Perkins's constituents.

Researchers should 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 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.

Researchers should also note that in 2009, each Senator was allotted space on the main Senate Web site and the official sites of individual Senators were removed from the live Web.
