St. Lawrence County Collection Mss. No. #108 St. Lawrence County is the largest county in New York State and has the longest frontage on the St. Lawrence River. St. Lawrence County is bordered on the north by the St. Lawrence River, the south by Lewis, Herkimer and Hamilton Counties, on the east by Franklin County and on the west by Jefferson County. The county has approximately 47 towns and villages and 1 city with the county seat in Canton. The collection consists of photographs, photo booklets, cemetery records of Nicholville, deeds, high school yearbooks, various newspapers, clippings about the county, and many articles and booklets. Included are articles on overhead electric lines, Clarkson family, Brownell genealogy, Talc Industry, George Couper Diary (excerpts) (Morristown), Historic Houses of Northern New York and the St. Lawrence State Hospital. The booklets cover the History of Potsdam, bridges of Potsdam, Memorial of Massena and a souvenir photo booklet of Gouverneur. At the end of the collection is the cemetery project done by Jon Parmeter’s history class and posters produced by senior SLU students in 2006 on various aspects of county life around the time of the University’s founding in 1856.
