New Website Features - 2009
Listed below are the most recent additions and changes to the People of Colonial Albany Live Here website. Included is the date each web page was activated or substantially revised. Click on the highlighted text to take you to the new feature.
Some/many of the new pages listed below items may appear to relate to lives of ordinary/average people and to things and issues of seemingly small significance. However, we consider each of them to be extremely important to the overall early Albany story and really do intend to illuminate/present every significant element in this format. Please remember that we consider every page to be "in-progress" and are revised on an ongoing basis!
