Efner
Center Overview
The Efner History Center has been located in the attic of
Schenectady City Hall for more than fifty years. It is named
after Mr. William B. Efner, a Schenectady resident and
eventual city historian who did extensive research and
collected artifacts, photographs, books and papers on the
history of Schenectady and its people. Efner donated his
collection to the City when it outgrew his home in the
Stockade. Over time, important municipal records as well as
artifacts and papers from businesses, organizations and the
general public have been added to the library.
