Collections
In the late 1980s, New York State considered Cortland County for a new low-level radioactive waste (LLRW) dump. Local residents protested and ultimately, there was no dump.
This collection shares numerous stories from those living within Cortland County as well as those working or studying at the State University of New York College at Cortland. It primarily includes audio recordings and digitized scrapbooks.
