Welcome to Julia Greenberg and Chris Peacock, the new co-curators of the Rock Valley Schoolhouse with another summer of exceptional music. But first, an event on May 30 at 4 p.m. will celebrate Bobbie Oliver, whose vision and stewardship made the Schoolhouse the gem that is for magical musical experiences in our corner of the Catskills.

Join Rock Valley Schoolhouse to honor and toast Bobbie and raise funds to sustain and expand on her legacy of great programs and historical preservation. Jim and Terry Milk will be hosting at Rock Valley Spirits, 1430 John Milk Road, Long Eddy, NY.

Last April, the NYG&B in Manhattan invited us to see their second Digitization Center in Syracuse, where historical records for BHS, the town of Fremont, and Sullivan County Historical Society were digitized. This video describes the project and the NYG&B's continuing digitization effort across New York State.

Learn about our Central New York Digitization Center in Syracuse and our partnership with the William G. Pomeroy Foundation to make this happen.
