First settled in 1793, Le Roy was created in 1812 from a portion of the Caledonia land purchase; the two communities have continued to share a number of economic and familial ties. The large number of numbered points in this relatively small town speaks to its civic spirit, an effective Burleigh sales agent, or both. Several lawyers and patent medicine manufacturers are listed as "places"; two railroads not even on the map paid the toll to be listed, as well. At this time, however, the most important player was the Le Roy Salt Works, point number fourteen located at upper left. bird's eye view Burleigh Litho Co LeRoy, NY Map https://openvalley.org/files/original/aa8bd4fed3c3f7aaeca1d7dbf96f5ae4.JPG 522bce62143e211fc242d295a221ab49 https://openvalley.org/files/original/b9dbbc1e6f6e453d5f5d58901fdf2dd3.JPG 1b93833950e4c2f8ad53f863d4b8fdd8 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource New Deal Gallery Description An account of the resource This collection of more than 200 paintings owes its existence to two primary causes: allocations from the Federal Art Project to a New York state tuberculosis sanatorium located at Mt. Morris--the landscapes and still lifes were thought to be restful--and to the committed volunteers who helped preserve the paintings after the hospital closed. For several decades the canvases were stored in non-climate-controlled basements; it appears that doctors and staff removed at least three dozen works as "keepsakes." Despite the seeming tranquility of the paintings, they were created by artists primarily from New York City whose background was more political and aesthetically adventurous than this rural location would indicate. <a href="https://openvalley.org/exhibits/show/green-new-deal/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Follow this hyperlink to a short introduction to the New Deal Gallery collection</a>. We're grateful to the Genesee Valley Council on the Arts for access to their collection, which has been re-photographed and appears here at two resolutions: a cropped, web-friendly file size of around 1 MB; and a high-resolution file including the painting's frame.

Title A name given to the resource Leeds Bridge Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource jpeg, 961 KB jpeg, 12 MB Description An account of the resource Portions of the stone bridge depicted here date to 1760, when a wooden structure over Catskill Creek (in Greene County) collapsed; the rest was completed in 1792 and remains standing today. Lomoff renders virtually no straight lines in his painting, whose natural features all appear to be in gently waving motion—arguably including the bridge itself. Foliage grows on the structure, its stones are the same color as those in the river bed, and its arches subtly echo those of trees and mountains in the distance. Still waters create a reflection whose effect is to create a pair of portals through to some other side. About the Artist: Born in Sevastpool, Russia, Lomoff traveled to the US in 1912 and immigrated for good in 1925, where he found employment as (among other jobs) a sign painter. His Futurist-influenced works like “Mystery” and “Legend of Atlantis” began to appear in group shows by the late 1920s. Lomoff’s exhibited numerous times with the Society of Independent Artists between the mid-1920s and early 1940s. In 1934, as part of the Public Works of Art Project, he painted a mural titled “Nursery Tales” in the Children’s Hopital on Charity Island (now named Roosevelt Island). A visitor noted that “Upon a single panel you will often find as many as three or four artists working at the same time in a spirit of unimpeachable cooperation...the old guild idea, adapted to modern usage” (Jewell). In 1937, amidst Congressional cuts to the Federal Arts Project, he was among those painters  showing at a “Pink Slip Exhibition” in New York City. Subsequently, “Toilers of the Sea” appeared at the Brooklyn Museum (1943), and he was part of an innovative 1946 exhibit at Loew’s Mayfair Theatre in Times Square—which had been organized following Thomas Hart Benton’s statement that art should be in public places and not “buried in mausoleum-like art galleries.” A 1971 retrospective of his painting might well describe his NDG landscape: “The mystic element became strong, rocks and hills taking on human form, until each animistic landscape was alive with the impress of dark figures” (O’Doherty). 10 works at the <a href="https://www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/artists/4052/objects" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brooklyn Museum</a>. 3 more images at <a href="https://www.aaa.si.edu/collections/federal-art-project-photographic-division-collection-5467/series-1/box-14-folder-19" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FAP</a>.

Title A name given to the resource Caledonia 1892 Description An account of the resource This collection of images is based upon <a href="https://openvalley.org/files/original/3ae1204165be3bf753a4d31e568da22a.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an 1892 birds-eye panorama of Caledonia, NY</a> published by Burleigh Litho of Troy, NY. According to John William Reps, Lucien R. Burleigh was responsible—whether as artist or publisher—for some 228 lithographic city views (it is possible, even likely that the Caledonia map was executed by an employee named Christian Fausel). Trained as a civil engineer, economic recession pressed Burleigh into finding other ways of making a living. He began city viewmaking during the 1870s and by the mid-1880s was well established in his profession. His usual practice was to work from an available map, determine the most advantageous viewpoint (for a village like Caledonia, typically 1500 feet above the ground), and making small sketches at the street level. Another important task during a two- or three-week stay was soliciting subscriptions for the panorama: it took perhaps 100 persons, each paying $2.50-3:00 for a map, for the project to break even. The Burleigh map’s legend provides us with a snapshot of Caledonia in 1892, just recovering from a major fire in 1891. It lists railroad stations, churches, the public school, and even Seth Green’s fish hatchery, but a majority of the numbered locations are commercial enterprises—a likely base of customers for purchasing copies of the completed work. Using old newspapers and trade magazines, this collection has gathered advertising from most of the businesses. Its purpose is to populate an interactive map for the “Heraldry” section of the “Clans of Caledonia” exhibit, where we see immigrant affiliations interacting with national and commercial icons—a complex process of so-called “Americanization.” Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Cooper, Ken Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Thanks to Tom Tryniski, Fulton History Still Image A static visual representation.

Title A name given to the resource Lehigh Valley Rail Road Station, Caledonia Description An account of the resource Number 7 on the Burleigh map, an original modest structure served the needs of a railroad built primarily to deliver coal from the Pennsylvania anthracite fields, east to New York and west to Buffalo on the Great Lakes. Amidst ferocious competition, however, the relatively small line came to depend upon moving western wheat and, eventually, passengers. Accordingly, in 1891, an “ornate station with its stained glass windows and Gothic scroll work was built by immigrant laborers” (Caledonia Advertiser 16 Mar 1972). Beginning in 1896, the Lehigh railroad became known for its luxurious "Black Flag Express" service between Buffalo and New York: a "combined cafe, library, writing and smoking room for gentlemen"; a "ladies retiring room"; a dining car and plate-glass observation windows "to view the rapidly passing scenery" (Caledonia Advertiser 2 April 1896). For passenger service the Lehigh's heyday was the first quarter of the 20th century, after which it began a gradual decline due to competition from automobiles. The station was demolished in 1972.

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.
