Research

Scope and Content Note

This series consists of reference material documenting resources for research on Colonial Albany. There are no original documents included among these materials. The series was created in support of various projects and publications with which Stefan Bielinkski of the New York State Museum was involved, one of which became a website entitled, "The People of Colonial Albany Live Here."

The series includes extensive files on a wide variety of subjects and relevant reference materials: cemeteries, bibles, obituaries, church records and histories, military pensions, reading files, book excerpts and theses, real property, courts and government organizations, wills and probate material, business correspondence, city records, family histories, and biographical data on specific families and population groups such as African-Americans.
