Got any Black history? If you do, and you want to preserve it and make it easily accessible for later generations, please contact Marietta Carr at the Schenectady County Historical Society.
The librarian/archivist at the society’s Grems-Doolittle Library since August of 2019, Carr is overseeing the African American Historical Records Project, an initiative of the New York State Archives.
