The Conference on New York State History is an annual meeting of historians,
librarians, archivists, educators, and community members who are interested
in the history, people, and culture of New York State and who want to share
information and ideas about historical research and programming.  Each
year the Conference brings together several hundred interested scholars and
students at locations across the state of New York.

The conference is sponsored by the New York State Historical Association in
collaboration with the New York State Archives Partnership Trust and is co-sponsored
by the New York Council for the Humanities and Niagara University.
