List of Pomeroy Foundation Markers & Plaques for Snap That Sign The next page on this document begins the complete list of all of the markers and plaques that we need to be photographed for Snap That Sign. It’s organized by county. How to use this document: An “X” in the Close Up or Landscape columns means we need a picture of the marker in that style of photo. If the cell is blank, then we don’t need a photo in that category. The codes in the Key column (i.e. NYS, L&L and NR) represent marker program names. “NYS” are the blue and yellow markers of our New York State Historic Marker Grant Program; L&L are the red and beige markers of our Legends & Lore Marker Grant Program; and NR are the brown and white markers (or bronze plaques) of our National Register Signage Grant Program.
