On behalf of the New York Council for the Humanities, now marking its 25th anniversary, I invite all New Yorkers to celebrate October 1999 as State Humanities Month. At museums, libraries, cultural organizations, and educational institutions across the state, the Council is co-sponsoring exhibits, lectures, films, tours, and family events exploring different facets of New York's history, heritage, and culture. We hope you'll enjoy this October celebration, and that you will renew your acquaintance with our state's exciting cultural riches.
