Contribute to the Historical Record with the Personal History Initiative  

The experiences of all New Yorkers make up the foundation of our state's history. The goal of the NYS Personal History Initiative is to help New Yorkers tell their stories, and the NYS Library’s Manuscripts and Special Collections (MSC) unit encourages all New Yorkers to document their community’s history and experiences.
