Life-sized, stuffed Henry Hudson is a partnership project of the Upper Hudson Library system, linking public libraries and families with local and regional history, and the Albany County Convention & Visitors Bureau. |
|
The UHLS portion of the project is part of a grant supported by Federal Library Services and Technology Act funds, awarded to the New York State Library by the Federal Institute of Museum and Library Sciences. |
|
Photographs of stuffed Henry Hudson, taken by both amateur and professional photographers at “Henry Sightings” and around Albany, will be on display throughout the Visitor Center galleries. All submitted photographs and colored pictures will be on display January 2009 through March 2009. The goal of the Where’s Henry Hudson? contest and Visitor Center Exhibit, is to garner support, recognition, and excitement for the Capital Region Quadricentennial Celebration. |
