Abstract

The article from the New York Archives discusses the early history of New Paltz, focusing on the multicultural aspects of the settlement. It highlights the digitization of nearly 4,000 historical documents dating from 1677 to the 1830s, shedding light on the experiences of Indigenous, French, Dutch, and African peoples in the region. The documents cover a range of topics, including legal and financial records, military documents, and personal letters, providing insight into the daily lives of individuals and families in New Paltz. The project aims to make visible the diverse stories that contribute to the town's history, inviting visitors to explore further through tours and research appointments at Historic Huguenot Street.
