Scope and Content Note
Microfilm reproduces records of the Washington County courts, the Washington County board of supervisors, and several towns
and villages in Washington County.
Microfilmed records of the Surrogate's Court include minute books, recorded letters of administration and letters of guardianship,
and a variety of other records. All the microfilmed Surrogate's Court records date before 1903; the general indexes were not
microfilmed. Microfilmed records of the Washington County board of supervisors include the board's document files (1922-1979,
1992) and supervisors' annual reports (1963-1984). Microfilmed records of the county clerk are taxable transfers of real property
(1892-1966) and civil case files of the Supreme Court and County Court (1984-1985). There are also microfilmed annual reports
of the Washington County Highway Department (1937-1990).
Clerks' record and minute books were microfilmed for the towns of Dresden (1901-1993 with gap), Fort Ann (1787-1835, 1938-1983),
Greenwich (1901-1992), and Jackson (1816-1991), and the villages of Fort Ann (1820-1993), Fort Edward (1849-1899), Granville
(1929-1965), Greenwich (1809-1993), Hudson Falls (1965-1992), Salem (1926-1941, 1948-1984), and Whitehall (1879-1906).
Also microfilmed were tax assessment rolls for the towns of Salem (1915-1951), White Creek (1915-1955), and Whitehall (1915-1955),
and the village of Cambridge (1976-1991). Microfilmed school records include Salem Union Free School District board of education
minutes (1851-1926) and Washington Academy (Salem, N.Y.) board of trustees minutes (1841-1945); also various minute and account
books and pupil attendance registers for several common school districts in the town of Hebron. For some towns and villages
other records were microfilmed as well; consult microfilm roll list and records inventory sheets.

Custodial History
This microfilm was produced by a grant awarded and administered by SARA's Local Government Records Services for the 1994 grant
cycle. Grantees submitted two copies of each roll of project film: a silver copy for secure storage at the State Records Center;
and a duplicate copy, containing only non-restricted records, for public use at the State Archives research room.
Use copies of rolls containing restricted records are not maintained by the Archives, and are withdrawn from public use at
time of accessioning. Security copies of such rolls are held at the State Records Center and are subject to restrictions under
law.
Restricted film was marked and use copies were weeded at time of accession; 149 rolls of master negatives (security copy)
were sent to the State Records Center (TL 95-53, 54). Sometimes restricted and non-restricted vital records (pre- and post-1880)
appear on the same film roll; since the records cannot be accessed separately, all such rolls are restricted.
Access Restrictions
There are no restrictions regarding access to or use of this material.
