Education Dept. Employee Arrested for Stealing Historic Documents

A state Department of Education employee is accused of using his position to steal hundreds of historic documents and artifacts from the State Library. The State Attorney General says the artifacts were sold on eBay and Traded at Collectors’ Shows.

Some of the things the Archives and Records Management Specialist is accused of stealing included a 4-page letter to a New York General by John C. Calhoun from 1823 and a “Currier & Ives lithograph that depicts ‘View From Fort Putnam, West Point Hudson River, N.Y.’”
