Normal (formed in 1869) and some material related to the earlier St.
Lawrence Academy, formed in 1816, as well as equivalent historic records
and materials relative to the Crane School of Music, birthplace of
American music education. Special Collections at SUNY Potsdam include
monographs focused on the history of Northern N.Y., Adirondack region,
St. Lawrence River and Seaway, and county histories of New York State,
as well as the papers of two Congressmen, Bertrand Snell and David
Martin. Some digitization has been accomplished; around 1200 photographs
have been scanned, and scanning of full runs of the student newspaper
