41. COOPERSTOWN. - NEW YORK STATE HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION, CENTRAL QUARTERS, 22 Main Street. Director, Clifford L. Lord. Winter hours: 9 a.m. - 12 m., and 1 p.m. - 5 p.m., weekdays, ex- cept Saturday afternoon. Summer hours: 9 a.m. - 6 p.m., weekdays; and 10 a.m. - 6 p.m., Sundays.
History and Purpose. - A local historical museum has been in existence at Cooperstown since about 1897, but the Otsego County Historical Society was not incorporated until 1934. The holdings of the early museum and the Historical Society were con- solidated and transferred to the custody of the New York State Historical Association in 1939, when the Association occupied the building on Main Street formerly used as a young men's club and village library. The building is now known as Central Quarters of the Historical Association, and serves central New York in the same capacity that Headquarters House at Ticonderoga (q.v.) serves the northern part of the state. The building is a two-story structure, with basement, and is of grey stone. There is a two-story annex at the rear of the building, which was reconstructed in 1939 to form an art gallery on the upper floor and a fireproof vault below for the housing of manuscripts, rare books, and newspapers. The vault at present contains 140 linear feet of steel shelving. Manuscripts are accepted as gifts or loans, but there is at present no provision for the purchase of collections.
