A Virtual Behind-the-Scenes Tour
of the Processing of
The Fred Abele Transportation History Collection
The Manuscripts and Special Collections Unit of the New York State Library
invites you to take a virtual behind-the-scenes tour of the processing
of a recently acquired collection. This is your chance to see how State
Library staff process a collection of 38 cubic feet of photographs, prints,
postcards and other ephemera so that researchers can use it.
The Manuscripts and Special Collections Unit will periodically update
these pages until the finding aid to the collection is complete. At that
time, an electronic version of the finding aid will be available through
the New York State Library's website and the Fred B. Abele Transportation
History Collection, 1905-1985 (SC 22662) will be ready for researchers.
