Collection Close-Ups: Society of Colonial Wars in the State of New York

This event is free and can be attended online.

Please join the NYG&B's Manager of Digital Collections, Kalyn Loewer, as she walks you through the Society of Colonial Wars in the State of New York collection, showing you the applications and what information can be found in them. These records represent over 25 years worth of applications, beginning with the 1892 incorporation of the society. Applications document pertinent information from the colonial period, such as birth, immigration, and military service records. Additionally, these applications represent significant pieces of biographical history for late 19th and early 20th century members of New York society.
