The County Clerk's Web Page can be found by going to the
Quick Jump pulldown menu on this
page, found right under the title logo. Then go to the County Clerk web page. Better yet, go to
the Hall of Records for the ACHOR or Albany County Hall Of Records web
page. This site has Naturalization Indexes in a Searchable Database
(on-line!!!) as well as lists & dates of other Historical
Records available.
New
Netherland and Beyond This site contains information on the
Geneology and History of Early New York State.
The New
Netherland Project was established under the sponsorship of
the New York State Library and the Holland Society of New York. Its
primary objective is to complete the transcription, translation, and
publication of all Dutch documents in New York repositories relating to
the seventeenth - century colony of New Netherland.
The
Olden Times This special section of a site called The
Olden Times features old newspaper articles from or about New
York & New York families.
Take a look also at the page for the City of Albany which has
listings of some sites that relate more specifically to the City of
Albany.
A scan of the booklet A MEMORIAL: Records of
early burial places on the farms in the town of Guilderland, N.Y. and
surrounding towns, Compiled by WILLIAM A. BRINKMAN,
HISTORIAN, can be found here.
Transcriptions of some cemetaries in the county can be
found here.
You can find information about getting vital
records from the state of New York here.
I have compiled a by no means complete listing of historic sites and organizations in the county. Generally, the historic sites are ones I've visited myself and enjoyed.
There is no specific County Library, but The Upper Hudson Library
System (UHLS) maintains a page with information about most if
not all of the libraries in Albany County. Information about a
particular library can be found here - go to the drop down menu titled
All Libraries near the top of the page, choose a library, then click on
Go.
The UHLS
also maintains a list of local libraries with information about the
types of collections they have, including whether they have local
history or geneology collections.
