Photocopying or Scanning Library & Archive Materials
Researchers are encouraged to photograph materials using a handheld camera or cell phone. Be sure to turn off the camera’s flash prior to use. The photocopier must be operated by museum staff and only authorized staff will photocopy or scan archival materials. Scanning and photocopies are $0.25 per page. Oversized and bound items are photographed in lieu of scanning.
Reproduction & Publication
Reproductions may be used for publication for a fee and the appropriate form must be filled out and signed by requestor and authorized staff member. All images will be accompanied by the citation: "Historic Huguenot Street, New Paltz, New York" and include appropriate collection information. Contact the library for more information.
Content Notes
Historic Huguenot Street’s digital images on New York Heritage, and the metadata used to describe them, may include content and language that is upsetting. The original documents reflect the language and attitudes of the people who created them and are the products of their time. In describing these documents to aid researchers in discovering them, we make every effort to indicate where document titles, descriptions, personal names (especially those of enslaved people), and notes contain direct quotes from the originals. Thus, some metadata reflects original language that may be racist, sexist, ableist, or otherwise offensive. Historic Huguenot Street adheres to the subject headings established by the Library of Congress and updates such headings in our metadata as updates are issued by LoC.
Public Access Note
Please note that not all documents held by the Historic Huguenot Street Archives are included in our digital collections. For the groups of documents currently online, the information presented is updated on an ongoing basis based on research conducted and/or verified by HHS curatorial staff. If you have corrections or additional information about a document that you would like to suggest, please email library@huguenotstreet.org.
History
The Library at Historic Huguenot Street is named for the Schoonmaker family, one of the earliest Dutch families in what is now New York's Mid-Hudson Valley. The Schoonmaker family has long ties to the Huguenot founders of New Paltz.
