Social History
The New York State Museum’s History Collections are filled with objects from everyday New Yorkers. From a collection of furniture and household goods used by several generations of a Dutch middle-class farming family in the Hudson Valley to a set of daguerreotypes and tintypes from an African American family living in Canajoharie in the mid-19th century. Historians and curators at the Museum strive to collect and preserve the history of all New Yorkers.
