Researchers, educators, and community members rely on our collections to support a wide range of projects. Last year alone, we responded to 260 research requests, while materials from our collections were featured in nine off-site exhibits, five publications (in addition to coverage in the Finger Lakes Times), and several projects undertaken by local organizations and businesses extending our reach far beyond our walls.
Hands-on learning helps students retain information, deepen their understanding of complex concepts, and apply their knowledge in meaningful ways. It also increases engagement and enthusiasm for learning. Through our programs, more than 2,200 students annually experience history firsthand, reinforcing classroom instruction and inspiring curiosity, critical thinking, and lifelong learning.
Our activities help bring the community together. Last year, we offered 40 programs and 47 outreach activities that attracted 3,100 participants, creating opportunities for learning, connection, and engagement throughout the community.
Last year, our sites welcomed approximately 3,700 visitors and featured ten exhibits, offering meaningful opportunities for residents and visitors alike to engage with local history, strengthen community ties, and participate in shared cultural experiences.Our out-of-town visitors in turn contribute to the community’s economic vitality by staying in local lodgings, shopping in local stores, dining in local restaurants, and visiting area wineries, breweries, and other attractions.
Digital access allows our collections to serve audiences far beyond those who visit in person. Last year, nearly 100,000 virtual visitors engaged with our resources online through our website, social media channels, and digitized collections. Archival materials are accessible through New York Heritage, and collection finding aids are available through the Empire Archival Discovery Cooperative, expanding access for researchers, educators, students, and the public.
Last year over $624,000 was spent on salaries, goods, and service while also supporting 27 local businesses through our operational and programmatic needs.
Since 2021 over $2.4 million has been spent on capital improvement projects using local contractors and suppliers. Through our activities the broader community benefits and these activities are brought to you, in part, by our supporters.
