[WEB4LIB] local history online

[Sharon]

Buffalo New York has the Preservation Coalition which has an extensive
online presence. One of the librarians belongs to this group I believe.

Take a look at:
http://bfn.org/preservationworks/bam/bam.html
http://bfn.org/preservationworks/index.html

I have learned a lot of Buffalo history this way and it is constantly updated.
