Important AND Fun

sylvester_manorDLTS is currently involved in a project to digitize a significant portion of Fales Library’s Sylvester Manor Archive, thanks to a grant from the Gardiner Foundation. Sylvester Manor is the home of the original European settlers on Shelter Island in eastern Long Island, New York, created in 1652 with the arrival of Nathaniel and Grissell Sylvester. The Sylvester Manor Archive contains documents dating from its European settlement to the late-20th century.

In addition to being an important collection to preserve and digitize, the collection has some beautiful material that’s fun to digitize. Above, you’ll see an example of one of the wonderful photographs.
