The NYS Library will be closed for the Veterans Day holiday. Don’t forget that you can still access tons of great information on the NYS Library website. Read on for tips and suggestions!
Veterans Day and the U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO)
Veterans Day received its official name in 1954, when President Dwight Eisenhower signed legislation changing Armistice Day to Veterans Day, honoring American veterans of all wars. You can explore this legislation (and much more) on the GPO's free GovInfo website. We also invite you to learn more about how the NYS Library works with the GPO to provide access to historical and current government publications.
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.
