The story of New York State’s role in the First World War is expansive and cannot be told through the collections of any single institution. The New York State Museum worked in close partnership with its sister institutions in the Office of Cultural Education—the New York State Archives and New York State Library—and reached out to other cultural institutions and historians to help broaden the story.
