Scope and Content Note
This series consists of archival copies of the publicly accessible website of Senator Ruth Hassell-Thompson. Researchers should note that in 2009, each Senator was allotted space on the main Senate Web site and the official sites of individual Senators were removed from the live Web.
B2225-06: This accretion consists of an archival copy of Senator Hassell-Thompson's official website produced on December 21, 2006, shortly before Governor George E. Pataki (1995-2006) left office. It contains biographical information, photographs, constituent brochures and mailers, and a New York City parking calendar (2006). Press releases (2005-2006) concerning legislation that Senator Hassell-Thompson sponsored or supported, events taking place in the 36th Senate District, and other matters of interest to Senator Hassell-Thompson's constituents are also included.

Of note is a brochure of senior citizen crime prevention tips that was actually issued by the office of Senator David A. Paterson, who later became Governor (2008-2010).
