The Trust develops partnerships for preservation, access, education and outreach programs that extend beyond the availability of state-funded activities.

Join us in celebrating 20 years of New York Archives magazine on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. 

New York Archives magazine, published quarterly by the Archives Partnership Trust, is an educational publication about New York State history as revealed by research in archival records maintained throughout the state.

The Trust helps to preserve and make accessible the archives from 350 years of New York’s colonial and state governments, so that they may be used for the benefit of the public.

In celebration of the Erie Canal Bicentennial, the Archives Partnership Trust is proud to partner with Gallery5one in offering high quality reprints of select maps and photos from the New York State Archives collections.
