Oswego County Source for Primary Sources

Today I spent the day at Richardson Bates House Museum with the School Librarians from our School Library Services Communication Coordinators group.  Our meeting was held at the Richardson Bates House Museum to learn about this great place and all the resources it offers in regards to Oswego County.

We took a tour of the house and all the great architectural features and discussed the history of the house and the family that had lived there. Also included in the house is a great section on the history of Oswego County with many artifacts of the area on display.

We had the opportunity to talk with Kelly Jordal, Public Information Officer for Oswego County Tourism.  Each school library was given a copy of The History of Oswego County New York 1816 - 2016.  I will add this book to our CiTi Library Collection.

We also spent time reviewing the available educational resources with Stacey Pope, Educational Consultant for the Oswego County Historical Society.  The historical society has many great resources to share with educators and students.  You can reach out to them and they are working on making the educational resources available in a digital format.  They will keep us updated on this progress.

Stop by the library to take a peek at our copy of the book.  It will be on display for two weeks and then it will be available for check out.
