The following articles and many more to come were taken from scrapbooks
I rescued when the owner decided they smelled bad and needed to go to the
dump. They are now safe and we can all share in their treasures. (And yes,
they do smell bad - like old paper, and we all know that odor and don't
mind it at all) |

The Chemung County Historical Society's 2005
Annual Meeting will celebrate the Veterans Oral History Project in New
York on Thursday, January 27 at 12:00 pm.
Members of the Chemung County Historical Society are invited to attend
our Annual Meeting on Thursday January 27, 2005. The festivities
begin with a luncheon at 12:00 pm followed by a brief business meeting
at 12:45. The highlight of the day will be a presentation at 1:00pm by
Michael Russert, Project Coordinator of the New York State Veterans Oral
History Project in Saratoga Springs, NY. Russert has been with the
NYSVOHP since Governor Pataki initiated the project in 2000. As coordinator,
Russert has been responsible for working with professional military historians
using the latest digital technology to preserve the story of more than
850 of New York's Veterans. He will talk about the details of the
project at the state level, including the role that the Chemung County
Historical Society has played since becoming involved in the project.
Russert was born and raised in Buffalo, NY. A teacher for thirty-five
years, Russert currently does book reviews for two national publications
about the Civil War. Russert belongs to the Company of Military Historians
and has a MA plus 65 hours in American Studies.
The Annual Meeting also gives us the opportunity to welcome new trustees,
a new slate of officers, and to thank outgoing trustees for their service.
We hope you will join us for this event, one of the Historical Society’s
oldest traditions. Cost to attend is $12.00 per person. Call us with
your reservations today! (607) 734-4167.
Please RSVP by Tuesday January 25th.
