Numerous libraries and organizations in Central New York have provided enthusiastic assistance and hospitality. In particular, I am indebted to the following: the Onondaga Historical Association Museum and Research Center; the Onondaga County Public Library; the Local History Collection housed in the Norman F. Bourke Memorial Library at Cayuga Community College; and the Seymour Public Library in Auburn, New York. I also appreciate the support I have received from my colleagues at the University of Rochester, where the importance of conducting research and sharing findings is a firmly engrained, community value.
