New York has been the birthplace of numerous political movements, and New Yorkers have emerged as leaders in a variety of causes including abolition, temperance, women’s suffrage, and more. The New York State Museum’s collection contains ephemera and artifacts from these historical movements and the people that drove them.
The State Museum, State Library and State Archives are temporarily Closed.
