Jordana Dym Allie Smith 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 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. A photograph of 466 and 468 Broadway, with storefronts of J.S.

Jordana Dym Allie Smith 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. Aerial views Property maps Related Maps There will be many cases where multiple maps are in effect only slight variations on a single original. If we are certain, or even pretty sure, that one map is just a slightly altered version of another,the related versions should be listed here.

Many State Archives maps have historical information in the catalog record -- that should be captured in this field. The original Scott map is both foundational and influential. It inspired at least two later versions, all of them manuscript (hand-drawn): this 1825 copy, drawn by G.G. Scott, son of the original surveyor and held by Saratoga County. Since the map is cited in the 1826 charter incorporating Saratoga Springs, perhaps G.G. Scott made it to help establish the corporation line. This map, drawn to indicate the properties belonging to Gideon Putnam, served as a document to detail the inheritance of his heirs after his death. This map is particularly damaged and several tears have compromised the readability. Road widths are indicated in some instances. This copy is drawn by G.G. Scott, son of the original mapmaker, It includes pencil annotations suggesting later city planners or agents consulted this original as property ownership changed and the lot was further divided. 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).

In 1708 Queen Anne of England granted a large land patent to thirteen loyal subjects covering nearly 500,000 acres, including the majority of land located in present day Saratoga County. This patent, the Kayaderosseras, used the Mohawk Indians’ name for this area. Surveying, partition, and settlement of the land granted in 1708 was slow. The Mohawks argued that settlers claimed more land than that sold in the deed, slowing down British settlement until 1768, when Sir William Johnson worked out an agreement with the Patentees. The French and Indian War also delayed settlement until 1763, when Britain’s control of the area was assured. Charles Webb ‘s 1769 survey allowed original patentees or their heirs to partition the land. Two sections, often referred to as “The Five Mile Square” and “The 2000 Acre Tract” set aside to pay the surveyors. This map, commissioned by wealthy Albany merchant Nanning Hermanse (Vischer) and drawn in 1772 by an unknown surveyor, shows the partition of the patent belonging to his heirs, son Nicholas Vischer (yellow) and grandson Nanning Hermanse Vischer (blue). The parcels stained in green had already been sold. Repository Name of the repository that holds the original item. Saratoga County Historian's Office (Saratoga County, N.Y.)

This early depiction of Saratoga Springs in Valentine Seaman’s treatise shows a settlement already drawing visitors to upstate New York’s medicinal springs. Seaman, a New York Hospital surgeon, sought to understand spring waters’ potential to combat diseases such as the Black Plague and Yellow Fever that spread through polluted water in the marshlands surrounding New York City. Although Seaman’s book was directed at other doctors, his map might have interested a broader audience. It includes a cross section of High Rock Spring, the settlement’s main attraction. The map actually draws attention to all kinds of water, including Saratoga Lake and the Hudson River. In the introduction to his book, Seaman credits state surveyor Simeon De Witt’s 1804 Map of the State of New York for the map’s geographic information. His honesty reveals two things. First, travelers to Saratoga Springs were learning about the springs through maps, although perhaps relying on them to understand where they had gone rather than finding a way there. Second, there are many places to look for information about a map’s source. If a map is in a book, it’s worth doing some reading. The document from which this map comes is available at the Saratoga Room, Saratoga Springs Public Library and in the special collections at Lucy Scribner Library, Skidmore College.

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. 2013 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." 2013 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. 10/25/2013 Date Published (Numeric) Date the item was printed. This will be set as a date field, accommodating only numbers. The field will be able to handle single dates or date ranges. This will not display, but will be indexed and searchable. 2013 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. County 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. Digital maps Theme For browsing purposes, we are borrowing and adapting themes from the Library of Congress's American Memory project.

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.
