This site was started by Historic Saranac Lake on December 4, 2008. It takes as its subject the history of the Saranac Lake region. Contributions are welcome from anyone with any relevant material to contribute. Photos and information posted on the site are considered public domain unless otherwise noted. Historic Saranac Lake may use photos or content posted on the wiki in other publications or web postings. We will do so only for the purpose of educating the public and inspiring interest in local history, not for material gain. For more information on use of material, please see editing guidelines below.
Our wiki was mentioned in a 2010 article on "Crowdsourcing" written by Tim Grove of the Smithsonian Institution on the American Association of State and Local History website. The other examples mentioned are from the Minnesota Historical Society and the Library of Congress, so we're in pretty good company!
As of March 2021, there are more than 7,500 pages on the wiki created by more than seventy-five thousand edits by more than a hundred contributors. There are also more than twelve thousand photographs, historic and modern.
