The Great Neck Library is pleased to participate in the Digitization Initiative sponsored by the Long Island Library Resources Council (LILRC). The funding for this project was obtained by LILRC through a Library Services & Technology (LSTA) grant. Great Neck is one of 12 libraries and historical societies that are currently contributing to a joint Long Island Memories project.
The Great Neck Library is in the process of digitizing and publishing on the web, approximately 100 postcards from the library’s local history collection. By making these images available online we hope to assist students, other researchers and residents interested in the history of Great Neck.
We invite you to view the Image Collections at the LILRC Collections Online website.
The first known record of this mill is 1702 when it was operated by Henry Allen. The mill has been restored to the period 1830-1870 when Richard Udall was the owner. It is one of the few remaining tidal grist mills.

Title 17, United States Code
Copyright law of the United States (Title 17, U.S. Code) governs the reproduction of copyrighted material. Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these conditions is that the reproduction is not to be “used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship or research.” If a patron uses a reproduction for purposes in excess of “fair use,” the patron may be liable for copyright infringement. The Library reserves the right to refuse an application for reproduction of an image if, in its judgment, fulfillment of the request would involve violation of copyright law.
