KingstonThe IBM Years

These two photos need to be together. Good times. Remember, if you haven't seen the online exhibit, take a look: http://omeka.hrvh.org/exhibits/show/kingston-the-ibm-years.

Pleased and honored that Frances Halsband, esteemed architect and artist, has chosen to donate her drawings that illustrated Gail Godwin's essay in the Kingston--The IBM Years catalogue. They will be in the Friends of Historic Kingston's collection. Here is Frances with Bill Rhoads, Collections Committee Chair and Ward Mintz, exhibit curator. Thank you, Frances!

A view of the testing floor at the Kingston Plant. Was it always called Hollywood and Vine?

The Kingston--The IBM Years website is going live! Check out the images and text and a page of all the oral histories people so generously contributed. The website is produced by Southeastern NY Library Resources Council (SENYLRC), which coordinates the Hudson River Valley Heritage (HRVH) service. Friends of Historic Kingston thanks Jennifer Palmentiero, Digital Services Librarian at SENYLRC. Any thoughts? Leave them here.

Getting closer to launching the site. Mostly a lot of proofing. Sure is a lot of work to do a good website. Stay tuned!
