Oral History Project

 

CT & I's mission is to document and present in context the inventions and industrial innovations of New York's Southern Tier.

Upstate New York has a heritage  that continues today of creative technology enterprises, whose guidance systems, computers, flight simulators, cameras, and high-speed film helped the US win the race to the moon.
