This will not display, but will be indexed and searchable. 1900 Date Published (Display) Text version of the date field -- can handle non-numeric characters (ca. 1850s, [1844]). This is the date field that will display. ca. 1900-1950 Date Depicted (Numeric) Date that the information on the item depicts. In many cases, this will be the same date as that in the date field, but there will be exceptions. For example, a historical map drawnin 1890 might show Saratoga Springs as it was in 1820. Or, the information on the map itself might include detailed information that enables us to extrapolate a date, for example, "based on a survey done in 1841." Many State Archives map catalog records refer to this as the "situation date." 1810 Date Depicted (Display) Text version of the date field -- can handle non-numeric characters (ca. 1850s, [1844]). This is the content date field that will display. April 1810 Related Maps There will be many cases where multiple maps are in effect only slight variations on a single original.

A 20th century copy of an original 19th c map, with the same title and several additions/modifications. An elegant item is in the New York State Archives, and a brittle contemporary copy, is in the Saratoga County Historian's office. Abstract (& Historical Note) Natural language description of the map itself, providing a general summary of the map and noting significant features. This is the place to introduce keywords and proper names that might be of interest to researchers, but do not warrant a separate subject heading of their own. Inset maps should also be described here, with their full titles given. Whenever historical or explanatory information is available, it should be included here as well. This includes information about items or events that are larger than just the map itself; for example, information about cartographers, a description of the map's historical significance (for example, "This is the first printed map of Saratoga Springs"), notes on the laws leading to a map's creation, descriptions of changes in state or county lines, information about the organization that created the map, how often maps were updated, and information about the map's creation and publication. Many State Archives maps have historical information in the catalog record -- that should be captured in this field. Although undated, details on this larger and linen-backed version of the map suggest a twentieth-century copy. The drawings of the schoolhouse and meeting house represent buildings that did not exist in 1810; such pictorial images do not generally form a part of official plats (property maps). This map is Number 7 in the Ted Gray collection now held at the City Historian’s office, and could be the work of city engineer Samuel J. Mott or another early city planner. The Gray collection includes many redrawings of foundational Saratoga Springs maps and plans in the County records office. The maps in the collection likely served public and private surveyors and engineers. Bibliographic Note This field is used to describe two distinct things: cataloging information about a specific item, and information about an item's sources and edition. The first area incorporates information about where a cataloger found a title, publication date, or author attribution (for example, "Title supplied by cataloger" or "Publication date from copyright statement"). The cataloger should take care to use it only for bibliographic issues -- general descriptions and historic information belong in the Abstract and Historic Note fields. For maps: It also includes information about scale calculation (for instance, if the cataloger found the scale by translating chains into a modern measurement), situation dates (i.e. "The absence of Durham and Vance counties, created in 1881, suggests that the map shows North Carolina at an earlier date than the copyright of 1889 states"), and, in the case of many maps from the Outer Banks History Center, former call numbers. Information about sources and edition will most often describe notable features on the map that were used to distinguish it from a similar, but separate printing. It can also include the source for information in the abstract (often a gazetteer), the cartographer's source for a map ("This map is based on John Ogilby's 1672 map with few omissions"), the original publication date or the publication date of the map's first edition, names of additional books containing the map (in addition to the one from which it was detached), and a note if the map is of uncertain authorship. Map suggests that there were earlier surveys of the same area of land- property of Gideon Putnam Subject - Details This subject field describes the amount of detail in a map. For maps: (or layers) included on the map itself. This field might denote that the map includes information about, for example, Mountains, Railroads, Soundings, Elevation, or Population. These are controlled-vocabulary terms developed locally. The cataloger should be generous in assigning these terms -- even if only one canal is visible on the map, it should receive a "Canals" subject in this layer. Some of these terms are less specific than others and may warrant expansion in the Abstract field. For example, the "Businesses" term might be included here while the Abstract notes that the map shows mills and stores. Multiple terms can be used in this field.

This field is here for two reasons: first, to present, at its narrowest level, the scope of the entire item (in other words, not every place name has to be listed here). Second, this field will allow for accurate and helpful narrowing and broadening of geographic searches. Neighborhood/District Type For Maps: This subject field describes the purpose of the map. This is a controlled-vocabulary field using terms developed for this project. It is important to note that Map Theme and Map Type are not hierarchical, thus it is possible to have the two fields overlap or even duplicate each other. In determining the purpose of the map, the cataloger should consider the publisher, and, (if known) original use of the map. For example, a map that shows a wide variety of information might be a candidate for General in the map_type field, however, if it was prepared by the state geologist and contains, in addition to everything else, substantial information about the geology and topography of the state, it would be classified as a Geological map.

Many State Archives maps have historical information in the catalog record -- that should be captured in this field. This 1940s pictorial postcard map by the Lions Club (local chapter est. 1925) introduces a new kind of twentieth-century mapmaker, the civic organization, in this case boosting their hometown as a tourist’s paradise. The postcard’s back tells its story: “Map of Colorful Attractions of Saratoga Springs N.Y. Saratoga Springs, mecca for those who seek health and recreation, has many outstanding attractions. Plan to visit this World-Famous resort.” The pocket-sized souvenir map echoes nineteenth-century pictorial maps (albeit in a smaller package), featuring people enjoying the city’s leisure activities from recreational sports to relaxing at the spa. The map also highlights new cultural and intellectual institutions, including Skidmore College, Yaddo, and Irish tenor Chauncey Olcott’s Inniscara cottage. By 1940, cars had become a popular means of transportation for visitors, and the map reflects the ability and desire to explore beyond the city; arrows point the way to distant sites, including Albany and the Saratoga Battlefield. This postcard was printed by the Tichnor Brothers company of Cambridge, MA, which created thousands of postcards, mostly of U.S. vacation destinations, in the 1930s and 1940s.

For example, a map that shows a wide variety of information might be a candidate for General in the map_type field, however, if it was prepared by the state geologist and contains, in addition to everything else, substantial information about the geology and topography of the state, it would be classified as a Geological map. Multiple terms can be used in this field.

Many State Archives maps have historical information in the catalog record -- that should be captured in this field. This colored map depicts Saratoga County in 1829 as it was presented to the U.S. Congress. The map details town lines, allotments, and city locations as well as a number of water ways, lakes, roads, churches, and industry buildings. A key at the bottom of the map explains marks indicating sites such as town lines, stage roads, county roads, villages, flouring mills, factories, forges, saw mills, and churches. Latitude and longitude are provided on the map's edges with longitude being referred to as "Longitude East from Washington." Saratoga Springs come from the Fifteenth (entire) and Sixteenth (lots 9-13) allotments. Saratoga Springs' surrounding towns include, Saratoga, Ballstown [today Ballston], Malta, Wilton, Milton, Greenfield, Providence etc. From the David Rumsey site, "This atlas is the second atlas published in the 19th century of one of the individual states in the U.S., preceded only by Mill's Atlas of South Carolina, issued in 1825, and followed closely, also in 1829, by Greenleaf's Atlas of the State of Maine (Ristow, p96)."

Many State Archives maps have historical information in the catalog record -- that should be captured in this field. John Held Jr., a well-known Connecticut illustrator originally drew this lively mental map of Saratoga Springs in 1926. In 1976, "Charlie Springs" (a suspiciously apt name) published it. Hence the dual chronology: although this version is from the 1970s, its content is 50 years older. Held Jr.’s map offers an amusing (lack of) geography of the Spa City, bottling its essence in three main themes: humor, geography, and history. Not all humor seems funny today; Held reveals his racism in the alcohol bottles littering the map that are labeled “Indian Relic[s].” Held plays with mapping conventions, offering a useless scale and track marks for made-up railroads. Also, “Unexplored,” “Unknown Regions,” and “Unknown Parts” describe spaces beyond the city center. Such labeling of “terra incognita” was common in the age when mapmakers collected information from intrepid travelers to fill in the blanks on their world maps. Here, however, Held hints that tourists might not leave downtown, winking at fellow visitors. Type For Maps: This subject field describes the purpose of the map.

Many State Archives maps have historical information in the catalog record -- that should be captured in this field. This map depicts a section of Saratoga Springs, Excelsior Park, which was created as a housing development, and was included in a pamphlet by A. R. Lawrence advertising the development. Excelsior Park is located to the former Excelsior Lake, now known as Loughberry Lake. The principal map depicts the land allotments as well as surrounding geographic areas. The allotments are depicted with dimensions of the lot size. Some allotments appear to have existing properties, while others are vacant, likely indicating that many estates were yet to be built at the time of surveying. There is a pictorial representation of Excelsior Park in the top right hand corner of the principal map that appears to depict existing structures in the development. Inset map: "Map of the village of Saratoga Springs and Excelsior Park." This map depicts the overall village of Saratoga Springs in relation to the Excelsior Park development. Major landmarks including hotels, springs, and railroad lines dot this map. It's important to compare this map with others created in the 20th century as it offers a horizontal perspective of Saratoga Springs while many later maps are vertically depicted. Knowing the geography of Saratoga Springs, we can assume that Excelsior Lake was later changed to Loughberry Lake, which currently serves as the water source for the city of Saratoga Springs.

This field is here for two reasons: first, to present, at its narrowest level, the scope of the entire item (in other words, not every place name has to be listed here). Second, this field will allow for accurate and helpful narrowing and broadening of geographic searches. Neighborhood/District City Type For Maps: This subject field describes the purpose of the map. This is a controlled-vocabulary field using terms developed for this project. It is important to note that Map Theme and Map Type are not hierarchical, thus it is possible to have the two fields overlap or even duplicate each other. In determining the purpose of the map, the cataloger should consider the publisher, and, (if known) original use of the map. For example, a map that shows a wide variety of information might be a candidate for General in the map_type field, however, if it was prepared by the state geologist and contains, in addition to everything else, substantial information about the geology and topography of the state, it would be classified as a Geological map.

"Above map: 'Saratoga Springs, as a place of residence, possesses many and unusual advantages, chief among which are its PURE AND BRACING AIR and its World-renowned Health-giving Waters. Hitherto most of the visitors to Saratoga have sought its CROWDED HOTELS; but the need is felt by many of SUMMER VILLAS which will afford quiet homes during the Summer Months in this most fashionable Watering-Place. We believe that the attention of the Public has only to be called to the Lots now offered for sale in EXCELSIOR PARK to make this beautiful spot soon vie with the environs of Newport in its Villa Homes and Tasteful Cottages.'" "Bottom of map: '...according to Act of Congress in the year 1881, of A.R. Lawrence & Co in the office of the Librarian of Congress at Washington, D.C.'" "Below map: 'Excelsior Park embraces that portion of SARATOGA SPRINGS for many years known as the "VALLEY OF THE TEN SPRINGS," with the TABLE LAND delightfully situated on either side of this Valley. It lies principally from three-quarters of a mile to a mile and a quarter north-east of the center of the Village, having for its south boundary LAKE AVENUE, which leads directly from the Town Hall. It is intersected by SPRING AVENUE, which extends past nearly all the Springs of Saratoga. There is also a beautiful Bridle Path winding through the woods, and for those who prefer to walk, a lovely Woodland Path. The cars of the Saratoga Lake Railway make frequent trips, and all regular trains stop at Excelsior Spring Station. The celebrated EXCELSIOR SPRING, the UNION SPRING, which is also becoming a favorite, together with several other Mineral Springs of different medicinal qualities, are near the center of EXCELSIOR PARK. LOUGHBERRY LAKE, a beautiful sheet of water, with its sloping banks adorned by lofty trees, also adds its charms to this place. Another great attraction is the magnificent Woods which form a part of this Park, and which skirt the Hill and Valley for nearly half a mile between the Excelsior Spring and East Avenue. Through these woods lies a wide and shady path, which has long been a favorite with many of the visitors at Saratoga; and recently a fine Bridle Path has been opened, and the love of the picturesque will find here many SHADY RAMBLES and ROMANTIC WOODLAND VIEWS. The more elevated portions of EXCELSIOR PARK have been divided into large and small VILLA PLOTS, many of which command fine views of the Mountains in Vermont and the Lake George Hills, while for a nearer home picture they look down upon the beautiful valley spotted with its many Mineral Fountains. All who visit Excelsior Park cannot fail to be attracted by its fine natural features and the many advantages which it offers as a place of residence.

Abstract (& Historical Note) Natural language description of the map itself, providing a general summary of the map and noting significant features. This is the place to introduce keywords and proper names that might be of interest to researchers, but do not warrant a separate subject heading of their own. Inset maps should also be described here, with their full titles given. Whenever historical or explanatory information is available, it should be included here as well. This includes information about items or events that are larger than just the map itself; for example, information about cartographers, a description of the map's historical significance (for example, "This is the first printed map of Saratoga Springs"), notes on the laws leading to a map's creation, descriptions of changes in state or county lines, information about the organization that created the map, how often maps were updated, and information about the map's creation and publication. Many State Archives maps have historical information in the catalog record -- that should be captured in this field. This map depicts the city plan of Saratoga Springs that is seemingly identical to the inset map on the 1871 "Map of a portion of Excelsior Park." There are noticeable differences in this updated version of downtown and the surrounding landmarks. For example, Excelsior Lake (1871) appears on the 1881 map as Loughberry Lake--as it is known today. This map acts as a compelling advertising for the housing development, known as Excelsior Park, comparing it to the villas of Newport, R.I. The map offers a thorough depiction of churches, hotels, springs, etc. in downtown Saratoga Springs. Repository Name of the repository that holds the original item.

Many State Archives maps have historical information in the catalog record -- that should be captured in this field. Until the nineteenth century, leading mapmakers worked in ‘cabinets’ (or offices) collecting the (sometimes unreliable) observations of others to create maps. Therefore, maps based on scientific or mathematical observation boasted of their origin in “actual surveys.” Samuel Geil’s large-scale wall map of Saratoga County shows the relation of Saratoga Springs to the surrounding area and Saratoga, from which it split in 1819. This map, still on its original dowel, shows how such wall maps might have hung in a business, government office, or private parlor. The comparatively large, dense inset of Saratoga Springs in the bottom right-hand corner of the map proclaims the town’s growing prominence, and a growing professional class of hotel owners, lawyers, doctors, educators and merchants. The map features two Saratoga Springs buildings, G. P. Putnam and Charles H. Payn’s “New Union Hall” (upper left) and the Greek Revival home of well-to-do farmer John R. Peters (upper right). Description from the Library of Congress: General-content county map showing rural buildings with householders' names; the Saratoga Springs and Ballston Spa insets show building coverage and names of principal buildings.

For example, a historical map drawnin 1890 might show Saratoga Springs as it was in 1820. Or, the information on the map itself might include detailed information that enables us to extrapolate a date, for example, "based on a survey done in 1841."

It should include relevant bibliographic information that is not given in the title, for example, "Top of map: 'EXAMPLE NEEDED' Publisher and printer information might also be included in this field: "EXAMPLE NEEDED.'" Note that the location of the printed text is given in the field itself and that the caption information is always included in quotes.

Abstract (& Historical Note) Natural language description of the map itself, providing a general summary of the map and noting significant features. This is the place to introduce keywords and proper names that might be of interest to researchers, but do not warrant a separate subject heading of their own. Inset maps should also be described here, with their full titles given. Whenever historical or explanatory information is available, it should be included here as well. This includes information about items or events that are larger than just the map itself; for example, information about cartographers, a description of the map's historical significance (for example, "This is the first printed map of Saratoga Springs"), notes on the laws leading to a map's creation, descriptions of changes in state or county lines, information about the organization that created the map, how often maps were updated, and information about the map's creation and publication. Many State Archives maps have historical information in the catalog record -- that should be captured in this field. This pictorial map depicts Skidmore College in its first location downtown on Regent Street/Spring Street of Saratoga Springs (as opposed to its current location on North Broadway). Several images represent recreation and courses available at Skidmore College. In 1939, the College was an women's college for the Arts. Cartoon-like images depict music, tennis, religion, philosophy, theater, among other activities. Two school seals are drawn in the left hand corners. The seal at the top left represents Skidmore School of Arts while the bottom left represents Skidmore College and the traditional academic logo. In the right hand corner is a compass rose that includes some of the disciplines taught at Skidmore: Philosophy, Painting, History, Literature, Sculpture, Science, Languages and Music. Public School No. 4 is depicted in this map. This map is available in scarf format at the Tang Museum at Skidmore College. Repository Name of the repository that holds the original item. Geography and Map Division, Library of Congress Scope Tiered geographical location (for example: United States, New York State, Saratoga County, Saratoga Springs, Congress Park). This field is here for two reasons: first, to present, at its narrowest level, the scope of the entire item (in other words, not every place name has to be listed here). Second, this field will allow for accurate and helpful narrowing and broadening of geographic searches. Neighborhood/District Type For Maps: This subject field describes the purpose of the map. This is a controlled-vocabulary field using terms developed for this project. It is important to note that Map Theme and Map Type are not hierarchical, thus it is possible to have the two fields overlap or even duplicate each other. In determining the purpose of the map, the cataloger should consider the publisher, and, (if known) original use of the map. For example, a map that shows a wide variety of information might be a candidate for General in the map_type field, however, if it was prepared by the state geologist and contains, in addition to everything else, substantial information about the geology and topography of the state, it would be classified as a Geological map. Multiple terms can be used in this field. Pictorial maps Mental maps Theme For browsing purposes, we are borrowing and adapting themes from the Library of Congress's American Memory project.

The cataloger should be generous in assigning these terms -- even if only one canal is visible on the map, it should receive a "Canals" subject in this layer. Some of these terms are less specific than others and may warrant expansion in the Abstract field.

Many State Archives maps have historical information in the catalog record -- that should be captured in this field. Mapping clearly ran in the Mott family. Jesse’s son Samuel J. Mott was village and city engineer and mapmaker from the late nineteenth century until his 1942 death. In addition, Samuel undertook several private commissions, including Mott this plat for a prospectus (similar to those of the previous century) to sell Marvin family property. By the 1920s, Saratoga Springs development was moving southward, or at least, developers hoped it would. The brochure boasted of a city “renaissance… dating from 1909, [when New York State] established the Saratoga Springs Reservation [Spa State Park].” Under state management, the springs were once again making the city the “mecca of spas” and, boosters hoped, providing a “foundation …[for ] an all year Saratoga….where people may live, work and play twelve months in the year.” Harry A. Chandler’s pictorial map (reverse) recalls and updates the 1888 Burleigh map to guide the imagination, with photographs, towards a boom period that auctioneers predicted for coming years. Looking at the empty land across the street from the Avenue of Pines today, however, suggests that potential purchasers were unconvinced.

In many cases, this will be the same date as that in the date field, but there will be exceptions. For example, a historical map drawnin 1890 might show Saratoga Springs as it was in 1820.

Inset maps should also be described here, with their full titles given. Whenever historical or explanatory information is available, it should be included here as well. This includes information about items or events that are larger than just the map itself; for example, information about cartographers, a description of the map's historical significance (for example, "This is the first printed map of Saratoga Springs"), notes on the laws leading to a map's creation, descriptions of changes in state or county lines, information about the organization that created the map, how often maps were updated, and information about the map's creation and publication. Many State Archives maps have historical information in the catalog record -- that should be captured in this field. This colored postcard features an image created by James E. Butterworth (1817-1894) that depicts 19th century Saratoga Springs. The image comes from the New York State Historical Association in Cooperstown, N.Y. Along Main Street are a series of horse drawn carriages, spring sites and a bridge that appears to lead to a wooded park. Not postmarked or addressed. No message.

New York City Subject - Details This subject field describes the amount of detail in a map. For maps: (or layers) included on the map itself. This field might denote that the map includes information about, for example, Mountains, Railroads, Soundings, Elevation, or Population. These are controlled-vocabulary terms developed locally. The cataloger should be generous in assigning these terms -- even if only one canal is visible on the map, it should receive a "Canals" subject in this layer. Some of these terms are less specific than others and may warrant expansion in the Abstract field. For example, the "Businesses" term might be included here while the Abstract notes that the map shows mills and stores. Multiple terms can be used in this field. Iconography-- horse Iconography-- springs Subject - Geographic Library of Congress subject headings. For maps: for major geographic locations depicted on the map, followed, in nearly every case, by the "Maps" genre subheading. (For example, "Saratoga Springs (N.Y.) -- Maps.")
