Introduction
Major Update: Look for thesigns to see the latest additions, as of September 3, 2009.
I have written a book for Arcadia Publishing. Images of America: Syosset People and Places went on sale in August 2008. While you will recognize many images from this site, there are many new ones and extensive text. I believe you will want to hold this Syosset book in your hands and enjoy it! Syosset People and Places is dedicated in loving memory to Pamela Boslet Buskin. She would have co-authored it had she lived.
For those of you who no longer live in Syosset or Long Island, you can order Syosset People and Places from
Arcadiapublishing.com, Amazon and other book sellers.Syosset People and Places is on sale in the Syosset Borders on Jericho Turnpike.

(photos courtesy of Christina Delin Ruggiero)Welcome home to Syosset!
"To some of you, Syosset is still home, a vibrant, ever-changing community. To others, Syosset exists only in your memories.
To all of you, we hope you will enjoy this brief trip home." Pamela Boslet Buskin
This site, established in December 2000, is expanding as new material is discovered.
There are now well over 2,000 images.
Many photographs and memorabilia are from Pamela Boslet Buskin's collection; some are from John Delin's. Many of the photographs were taken by Pam's father, Robert Boslet, or by Bob's brothers, Joseph and Donald. There are numerous late 19th and early 20th century photographs by George Edward VanSise (1873-1965). A number of pictures were originally posted on eBay. Several photos of recent vintage are from the Web sites of various institutions. Other acknowledgments are listed with the images.
Listen to the late Joseph Boslet Jr., interviewed by Isabel Goldenkoff at the Syosset Public Library as he reminisces about old Syosset. We placed excerpts from this 1991 tape throughout Scrapbook. You may have to temporarily disable your firewall in order to access the sound files.
Look for thesigns. If you live in Syosset, visit the library to borrow the entire tape and tapes featuring other longtime Syosset residents. If you wish to listen to the tapes in the library, call the library first to see if they have a tape player; otherwise bring your own.
Look for videos, a new feature.
