Historical Context

Roberta Halden served as the Town Historian for Seneca Falls for several years in the 2000s and 2010s.  She collected newspapers clippings, booklets, postcards, newsletters and other materials that were compiled and curated by her in 129 notebooks.  This collection was donated to the Seneca Falls Library, where it is housed today.  The majority of the collection materials were derived by Halden from the Finger Lakes Times and The Reveille newspapers and their predecessors.  Most of Halden’s collection has been made available on New York Heritage with more to be added.
