NYSTH /Acronym for New York State Troopers History, is a volunteer project undertaken to preserve and organize historic material relative to the New York State Police for the benefit and enjoyment of past and present members and the internet public. It started several years ago when I went to the SP Academy hoping to obtain pictures of the training classes, known as sessions. Long story short, I left with a bigger job as a volunteer, which entailed going to the Academy several times over the next few years. I agreed to share and not use the material in a commercial way. It has become an intense, but fun hobby. Many hours, travel, and material investment have been involved. .
This is an individual effort, privately funded, not an official NY State Police function. A scanner and/or a camera is used to preserve a digital image. Although a large portion of the images are from the Academy, several scrap books, photographs and items of historic value have been contributed by others. This is very evident in the "Collections" section , where the name of the source is used. Material is scanned or photographed and returned. I believe about 17,000 historic images have resulted, many new friends developed and even more old friends contacted.
There are over 100 pages on this site, new being developed. Some pages have 20 images, others 200. It is LARGE, but designed with a layered flow , Blue Buttons are the guide. The main Site Map links to sub-categories, aka, an Index . Every page has a return button to the Site Map, Home Page or the category index. You should not feel lost. Additional materials always welcome. Contact buttons are on many pages and and at the bottom of this page. Hope you enjoy state police history Ted Palmer
