Comstock Adirondack Postcard Collection MSS Comstock Adirondack Postcard Collection MSS. COLL. NO. 198 1890’s-1950’s 3 linear ft History The modern picture postcard phenomena begins in 1893 at the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Officially licensed postcards cost one cent to mail while unlicensed private cards required two cents, the same as a first-class letter in a sealed envelope. The popularity of postcards increased dramatically in 1898 when the U.S. Congress authorized lowering the postage rate to one cent. These early postcards required that the address and stamp be on one entire side of the card, while the other side could contain an image and a space for a handwritten message by the sender. This all changed in 1907 when Postal authorities approved the “divided back” format which has continued ever since. Hundreds, if not thousands of American photographers, printers, publishers across the United States began creating and selling postcards. Some of these were “Real Photo Postcards” (RPP) in which the image was actually a photographic print. This was also a period in which the general printing industry was developing numerous lithographic and offset printing techniques to produce color and black and white images which were quickly adopted by postcard producers. Many of these early cards were printed in France and Germany, but this diminished almost entirely due to tariffs and the First World War. Edward (Ted) Comstock, curator, antiquarian dealer, editor, and consultant of all things Adirondack began collecting vintage Adirondack postcards in the 1980’s, saying “the variety of the early cards fascinated me…as ephemeral examples of paleo-pop art they have plenty of stories to tell about Adirondack history during the first half of the 20th century.” Scope & Content This collection consists of approximately 3,000 postcards from the 1890’s through the 1950’s depicting scenes in the Adirondack Mountains region of New York State. It contains postcards by the major postcard publishers of the time as well as by significant known and unknown Adirondack photographers. It is especially strong in its images of geographical locations, and hotels. Approximately 30-40% of the cards have been posted containing messages of all kinds. Provenance Purchased from Ted Comstock in 2016. Organization & Arrangement Series 1: By place: 2611 postcards Geopolitical towns and hamlets (NY), or Geophysical features (County name). Series 2: Unidentified places arranged by subject 206 postcards Series 3: Photocopies of postcards 42 photocopies Series 4 Panoramic postcards and souvenir booklets 51 items 2910 items Corporate headings Names of hotels, lodges and camps (corporate headings) are in bold type. These names are represented as accurately as possible, “The Hedges” as opposed to “Hedges” for example, and are usually taken from how the name appears on the card. Researchers should be aware that variant forms of names routinely exist. Note: the term “General views” is used in this finding aid to connote street views, buildings and people.

With postcards these roles frequently changed, with a publisher becoming a distributor, for example. The postcards themselves are often misleading in determining distinctions with a retailer being identified as the “publisher.” Therefore with this collection these distinctions are left up to the researcher’s judgement… Albertype Albertype Company, Brooklyn NY, 1890-1952.

    NEW YORK Freshwater FISHING2015–16 OFFICIAL REGULATIONS GUIDE VOLUME 7, ISSUE NO. 1, APRIL 2015 Fishing for Muskie www.dec.ny.gov Most regulations are in effect April 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016 MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR New York: A State of Angling Opportunity When it comes to freshwater fishing, no state in the nation can compare to New York. Our Great Lakes consistently deliver outstanding fishing for salmon and steelhead and it doesn’t stop there. In fact, New York is home to four of the Bassmaster’s top 50 bass lakes, drawing anglers from around the globe to come and experience great smallmouth and largemouth bass fishing. The crystal clear lakes and streams of the Adirondack and Catskill parks make New York home to the very best fly fishing east of the Rockies. Add abundant walleye, panfish, trout and trophy muskellunge and northern pike to the mix, and New York is clearly a state of angling opportunity. Fishing is a wonderful way to reconnect with the outdoors. Here in New York, we are working hard to make the sport more accessible and affordable to all. Over the past five years, we have invested more than $6 million, renovating existing boat launches and developing new ones across the state. This is in addition to the 50 new projects begun in 2014 that will make it easier for all outdoors enthusiasts to access the woods and waters of New York. Our 12 DEC fish hatcheries produce 900,000 pounds of fish each year to increase fish populations and expand and improve angling opportunities.

Our approach is simple—we are strengthening our commitment to protect New York State’s vast natural resources while seeking compelling ways for people to enjoy the great outdoors in a socially and environmentally responsible manner. The result is sustainable economic activity based on a sincere appreciation of our state’s natural resources and the values they provide. We invite New Yorkers and visitors alike to enjoy our high-quality water resources. New York is blessed with fisheries resources across the state. Every day, we manage and protect these fisheries with an eye to the future. To date, New York has made substantial investments in our fishing access sites to ensure that boaters and anglers have safe and well-maintained parking areas, access points, and boat launch sites. In addition, we are currently investing an additional $3.2 million in waterway access in 2019, including: • New or renovated boat launch sites on Cayuga, Oneida, and Otisco lakes • Upgrades to existing launch sites on Cranberry Lake, Delaware River, Lake Placid, Lake Champlain, Lake Ontario, Chautauqua Lake and Fourth Lake.

    n1 AdirondackWatershed Institute Stewardship Program Watershed Institute Stewardship Program Summary of Programs and Research 2014 Upper Saranac Lake Adirondack Watershed Institute ADIRONDACK WATERSHED INSTITUTE THE YEAR IN REVIEW 2 STEWARDSHIP PROGRAM The Year in Review Aquatic invasive species (AIS) continue to be a great concern all across the Adirondack region, demanding increasing attention and resources from communities and agencies far and wide. The Adirondack Watershed Institute Stewardship Program (AWISP) is part of coordinated efforts at the local, regional and statewide levels to detect and arrest the spread of AIS. The Adirondack Watershed Institute (AWI) works year-round with partner organizations, communities and government agencies to understand and manage a range of environmental quality issues through research and education. 2014 marked the fifteenth field season for the AWISP. 2014 highlights: Clean, Drain, Dry! AWISP stewards provided coverage at 31 launches on 26 lakes and ponds this season sharing the message of “Clean, Drain, and Dry!” New Education Program! The AWISP launched an off-site environmental education program called the Water Shield Workshop. The program integrates land-based exercises with on-water activities for participants of all ages. Water Shield Workshops were held at Lake Pleasant, Schroon Lake, and Lower Saranac Lake in 2014. Finding Bythotrephes! Survey efforts by AWISP staff confirmed the presence of spiny waterflea (Bythotrephes longimanus) in Lake Pleasant and Piseco Lake for the first time. See it! Touch it! Learn it! The AWISP purchased an Enviroscape watershed model for education and outreach activities. Round-up of program wide accomplishments, by the numbers: AWISP stewards confirmed and removed 834 AIS from inspected watercraft across the Adirondack region.
