The SIIAS and the SIHS are not formally related in any way, although
William T. Davis was instrumental in the founding of both
institutions. There is some overlap in the resources (such as
library materials) at the two museums, but, as the names imply,
SIIAS is more concerned with art and natural science. SIHS is
broadly devoted to the history and culture of Staten Island from
the 17th century to the present. We seek to preserve the past, but
we are also working to document contemporary life and the issues that
concern Staten Islanders today. We welcome any and all input from
members of the community.
