Students have full access to the resources and facilities of the College, but attend classes in Cooperstown, a village 25 miles northeast of Oneonta. Cooperstown is home to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum and the New York State Historical Association (NYSHA), which conducts extensive educational programs, publishes a scholarly journal, and operates The Farmers’ Museum, Fenimore Art Museum, and a research library. The Cooperstown Graduate Program (CGP) is a unique public/ private partnership between the State University of New York College at Oneonta and NYSHA. Many of its more than 800 alumni have attained prominence in museums and related fields as directors, educators, curators, or programming specialists. CGP Community Stories presents the diverse stories of the residents of central New York State. A project of the Cooperstown Graduate Program (SUNY Oneonta) and the New York State Historical Association, CGP Community Stories serves the community as a dynamic tool for researchers and a record of significant changes in the rural areas of New York State. With oral histories available in digital audio format, visitors to the website can explore themes central to the lives of the people who live and work in the agricultural heartland of the state.
