Scope and Content Note

This series consists of archival copies of the official website of Senator John L. Sampson. 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.

B2254-06: This accretion consists of an archival copy of Senator Sampson's official website produced on December 26, 2006, shortly before Governor George E. Pataki (1995-2006) left office. It contains biographical information, photographs, a district map, and a press release (2005). Also included are constituent mailers and reports (2005) concerning senior citizens, women's health, and other matters of interest to Senator Sampson's constituents.

B2254-08: This accretion consists of a copy of Senator Sampson's official website 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 programs and services of interest to Senator Sampson's constituents. A directory of fire departments, libraries, hospitals, and social service organizations in the 19th Senate District and a listing of the New York City community boards representing residents of the 19th Senate District are also included.

Researchers should note that, owing to the structure of the live site and the limitations of Web archiving technology, most 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.
