Selected Millard Fillmore papers
Most of the papers we have consist of correspondence that Fillmore received between 1817 and 1876. The correspondence relates to his law practice in Buffalo, NY, and his political career both in New York and at the federal level.
Some, but not all, of these letters have been digitized.
Safe Haven
In Special Collections, we have a wide variety of media about the Fort Ontario Emergency Refugee Shelter (Safe Haven), including books, newspaper clippings, and interviews.
