The Documentary Heritage Program (DHP) is a New York Statewide records program designed to locate, organize, and make available the state's historical records that are critical to ensuring the survival of New York's heritage. Established by law in 1988, the DHP is administered by the New York State Archives, State Education Department, and is funded through the Local Government Records Management Improvement Fund. The DHP offers regional services and a statewide comprehensive grants program. DHP archivists offer also free advice and on-site consultations to area non-for-profits and offer workshops and roundtables, from archival basics to advanced technology for archival solutions. In the Hudson Valley, the DHP is administered by Greater Hudson Heritage Network.

Free Site Visits!
The Hudson Valley DHP offers free advice and on-site consultations with a regional archivist to area non-for profits.

COMING SOON! |
The Heritage Navigator will be an interactive map of the Hudson Valley, which will showcase individual items from local archival collections on a rotating basis. Each entry on the map will include digital representations of an archival item and a brief description of the selected item, explaining why the item is unique or significant to the organization's collection. The major goal of the Heritage Navigator is to increase awareness about archival collections in the Hudson Valley—and so each entry will also link directly to the organization's contact information and website. We have already received a number of interesting submissions for the Heritage Navigator and hope to have it up and running soon.
