New York State Legislative Task Force on Demographic Research and Reapportionment Archived Websites

This series consists of archival copies of the publicly accessible website of the New York State Legislative Task Force on Demographic Research and Reapportionment, which conducts research projects relating to the application of federal census and other statistical information to the process of reapportioning State Senate, State Assembly, and U.S. House of Representatives districts. Researchers should note that this site was offline in 2008, when Governor Eliot L. Spitzer (2007-2008) resigned from office. As a result, it was not captured at that time.

It contains information about the task force's mission and organizational structure; transcripts of public meetings (2001); congressional, state assembly, and senate district maps (1992, 2002); and voter and enrollment (1996, 1998, 2000), as well as federal census (2000) data broken down by counties.

Researchers should note that the Census and voter data files have been compressed using WinZip software and will require software that can unzip the files to view them. Researchers should also note that, owing to the limitations of Web archiving technology, the streaming videos on the site could not be captured properly.
