The focus for the “Empire State Express” funds will be on furthering the Society’s mission of making information available.  The funds will be used for:

• Continuing the scanning of historical materials  – computers, scanners and paying for scanning we cannot do.
• Maintaining and improving the IT system- Expand the IT system for new users at the archive, add additional website capability, obtain additional contract IT support,  add secure backup in a cloud based system – continue to add features and applications to the existing system.
• Acquisition of new materials – This is for the purchase of NYCS photos, maps and other memorabilia that is determined to be important to our history.
• Expanding the library – Adding reference material and improving the database to make retrieval of library references
• Displaying object collections, such as models, china, silver and memorabilia – Purchase of display cabinets for the object collections
• Coordinating with other railway historical societies – Offering material not associated with the NYCS that we have acquired through donations to other societies.  – Shipping and postage to do this
• Expanding the help which we provide to members, historians, authors and model makers. – Adding applications, databases and security that make it easier to do research in the archive.
• Support of other NYC related historical activities. – Providing general support to other NYC related activities in the form of grants and support.
