The Lee Library is pleased to announce that the history of the first 100 years of the NYSAES is now available online as a PDF.   This title was published by the NYSAES in 1999 and has been used frequently by researchers needing information on the history of various programs here at the Station.  Although a highly valuable resource, many users wished for a searchable full text version.  To increase the book’s utility the library scanned a print copy, produced the PDF and then OCR’ed the digitized text.  Now it is possible to comb the entire volume for specific references to a time period, name or whatever keyword you need.  The library has placed an e-version in CUL’s eCommons and also in Internet Archive:
