No reliable sources? edit
If there are no reliable sources for information about this society, then it can be argued that the Society is simply not notable enough to have an article in this encyclopedia. --Orange Mike | Talk 15:50, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
- Well, it's not much but google scholar finds several mentions of the CCHS.
- See for instance:
- Ray Allen Billington "Guides to American History Manuscript Collections in Libraries of the United States", The Mississippi Valley Historical Review, Vol. 38, No. 3 (Dec., 1951), pp. 467-496, Published by: Organization of American Historians JSTOR 1889032 at p.486, where it lists the CCHS collection as one of ten in the Guide to Ten Major Depositories of Manuscript Collections in New York State (New York, 1941). 78 pp. Also published in Proceedings of the Middle States Association of History and Social Science Teachers, XXXVIII (1940-1941), No. 2.
- Also, see an acknowledgement of the CCHS at:
- Susan K. Harris The courtship of Olivia Langdon and Mark Twain Cambridge University Press, 1996 p.xi ISBN 9780521556507
- The CCHS is both acknowledged and copiously credited in:
- Michael Horigan Elmira: death camp of the north Stackpole Books, 2002 ISBN 9780811714327

- There's more to be found at Google Books, too; and they have published quite a bit to be found in WorldCat. These are all passing mentions, and I'm torn as to whether they really meet our standards of substantial coverage. Please join our discussion at the AfD, where so far I have been unable to bring myself to say "yea" or "nay". --Orange Mike | Talk 16:43, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
- I just wanted to say that I do not wish to see this article get deleted, given the previous discussion. I am not affiliated with the place and I have no prior interest in the subject matter, I just saw it in the Articles for Deletion page and wanted to speak up. I have no time to do research at the moment, and I can not argue yea or nay, but I hope this article can stay. Good luck figuring out whether it should or not!

removing POV tag with no active discussion per Template:POV edit
I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:
- This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:
- There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
- It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
- In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.
- This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:
Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 15:17, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
