For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Perry Knitting Co. Description An account of the resource This collection gathers documents for a Perry Knitting Co. exhibit on OpenValley. They are drawn from from three main sources. First, the Clark Rice Photography Collection at the Perry, NY Public Library. Rice was a prolific photographer in Western New York throughout the mid-20th century. This collection includes scans of his work, and copies of images from the turn of the century photographer Merrium Crocker, whose studio Rice purchased. Secondly, the Henry Page Local History Files. Page was president of First National Bank of Perry, and a local historian associated with the public library for nearly five decades. His uncle, William, had helped secure funding from the Carnegie Corporation for its establishment in 1900 and construction in 1914. The Page collection contains various historical materials and photographs accumulated by him over the years. Thirdly, we draw upon various public domain texts, such as maps from the Library of Congress or <a href="http://perrypubliclibrary.advantage-preservation.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">digitized articles from local newspapers</a>. All images here are selections from these collections, chosen for their relevance to OpenValley project. We gratefully acknowledge the generosity of the Perry Public Library and its Director, Jessica Pacciotti.

Title A name given to the resource Mills of Genesee Valley Description An account of the resource Before the commercial extraction of fossil fuels from the Oil Creek region of northern Pennsylvania, most mechanical work in the Genesee Valley was done by human and animal power, or some source ultimately derived from the sun: burning wood, wind power, or flowing water. The exception to this, of course, was coal--by the 1880s America's dominant source of energy. Due to the Genesee region's ample supply of wood and running water, along with the cost of shipping coal, it's quite common to find instances of various water mills in the area's history. They were adapted to a wide range of uses: cutting wood into timber and milling it into specialized shapes (lumber mill); grinding corn into animal feed or for distilling alcohol (grist mill); grinding wheat or other grains (flour mill); creating boxes and other products from wood pulp (paper mill); fabricating metals (triphammer mill); powering industrial equipment (textile mill); and by the 1880s creating electricity via turbines. This collection gathers various documents concerning mills in the Genesee Valley. In addition to images and written texts, there is also an interactive map illustrating the density of their usage during the mid-nineteenth century. Still Image A static visual representation.

Title A name given to the resource Summer in New York State Description An account of the resource Published a year after the conclusion of World War II, the tone of this 36-page travel guide to New York is one of making up for lost time. "With motor travel again unlimited," we are told, "New York's 59,000 miles of improved highways beckon the autoist to enjoy the State's attractions from the vantage-point of his own conveyance." Clearly, the automotive age has begun in earnest. The state is divided into fifteen regional "Vacationlands," including the Genesee Valley and Finger Lakes. There are thematic sections highlighting activities for seemingly any taste: Fishing, Swimming, Hiking, Camping, Motoring, Historic Shrines... even Flowers and Geology make an appearance. It's an intriguing glimpse into the early trajectory of postwar tourism, which still is relatively outdoors-centered in its emphasis.

Title A name given to the resource Virginia Canyon Highway, Colorado Description An account of the resource Unofficially known as the "Oh My God" Road, this winding route was created to service silver mines, some of which are visible in the postcard view.

Title A name given to the resource Niagara Falls Dry Description An account of the resource During the mid-1960s, journalist Cliff Spieler of the Niagara Gazette published a series of articles warning that the American Falls were in danger of "disappearing" due to erosion and rockfall (two major incidents occurring in 1931 and 1954). By 1969, permission was granted to de-water the falls using a cofferdam; geologists drilled a series of exploratory holes and eventually concluded that . In the meantime, surreal images of a de-watered falls were recorded by curious tourist during a period of some five months. The photographs are somewhat ironic in that human intervention already was playing a role at Niagara Falls due to hydroelectric diversion.

Title A name given to the resource Upper Hunter Region, New South Wales Description An account of the resource Photograph in southern Australia shows the ecological impact of open-pit mining and coal-fired power plants. But Albrecht also argues that "changes to the landscape in the Upper Hunter region of NSW severely distressed the people who lived there, a feeling not previously captured in the English language." He therefore proposes the term solastalgia to name this feeling of displacement, defining it as "the homesickness you have when you are still at home."
