Genealogists whose ancestors lived in Westchester and the Bronx will find a wealth of information at the Westchester County Archives.
The Westchester County Archives is the central repository for the historic public records of Westchester County, NY, dating from 1680 to the present.
The stories about the people and events that have shaped Westchester’s rich history come alive at the Westchester County Historical Society. The society’s library, Westchester’s largest collection of local history, covers the county’s development from the first Dutch settlers in Yonkers to the most recent corporate settlers along the White Plains corridor. The society’s Web site has links to local historical societies as well as to genealogical resources.
