  • Report of the Superintendent of the State Land Survey of the State of New York for the Year 1898 by Verplanck Colvin and Norman J. Van Valkenburgh

    Report of the Superintendent of the State Land Survey of the State of New York for the Year 1898

    Verplanck Colvin and Norman J. Van Valkenburgh

    Typescript draft of the lost 1898 Colvin Report from the Verplanck Colvin collection (ARL-072) held by the archives of the Adirondack Research Library.

    “The original manuscript from which we began was a combination of typed and handwritten pages with a great number of deletions and inserts throughout,” Norm Van Valkenburgh wrote. “Some of it was most difficult to interpret,” which is a concession coming from a fellow surveyor. “It is only because of the patience and skills of four typists…that a complete and comprehensive second draft of the manuscript was produced.

    The Report of the Superintendent of the State Land Survey of the State of New York for the Year 1898, edited and with an introduction written by Norman J. Van Valkenburgh was finally published in 1989.

  • Grassroots Activism in the American Wilderness by India Spartz and Abigail Simkovic

    Grassroots Activism in the American Wilderness

    India Spartz and Abigail Simkovic

    This exhibit catalog is the culmination of a generous multi-year grant from the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR), which is funded by the Mellon Foundation. The grant provided funds for the Schaffer Library at Union College to arrange, describe, and make accessible the archives of citizen activists John S. Apperson, Jr. and Paul Schaefer, whose work is featured in the exhibit. The roots of our national wilderness system, signed into law as the 1964 Wilderness Act by President Lyndon Johnson, run deep in the Adirondacks. Created in 1885 and constitutionally protected in 1894, the Adirondack Forest Preserve was the first wilderness area in the U.S. to be set aside as open space where resource extraction was prohibited. The vigilance and perseverance of environmental activists such as Apperson and Schaefer played a vital role in saving wilderness lands and preserving them for the future. The materials in this catalog are a sampling of the legacy of Schaefer and Apperson.
