Roundtable Discussion with 2025 Preservation in Action Honorees

This virtual roundtable discussion with our 2025 Preservation in Action honorees shared insights and lessons learned from their trailblazing work in and contributions to the field of family history in a conversation moderated by D. Joshua Taylor, NYG&B President and CEO.

This year’s theme, “The Power of One,” celebrates those who have conducted impactful archival work in New York State—in some instances with very limited help or support. Our 2025 honorees are:

• Michelle Henry, Research Historian, Office of New York State Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, and Former Chautauqua County Historian
• William P. Tatum III, Dutchess County Historian
