INDEX TO THE RECORDS OF THE TOWN OF SALEM NEW YORK
WASHINGTON COUNTY
PREPARED BY THE TOWN HISTORIAN ARCHIVE ROOM HISTORIC SALEM COMMUNITY COURT HOUSE CENTER 58 EAST BROADWAY
Updated January 2016
INTRODUCTION
The index describes the records of the town of Salem, including the historical records held by the historian. The archives contain those records, pictures, artifacts, correspondence, etc., which have and will have administrative, legal, research and historical value. Without these records much of our history would be lost forever.
In 1992, a grant from the NYS Archives and Records Administration (SARA) enabled the town and village of Salem to begin the process of sorting, inventorying, preserving and cataloging the town and village records. In addition to the actual records, a microfilm format of Salem’s oldest records, including local newspapers, vital records, town minutes and the Dr. Asa Fitch, Jr., journals, exist in the village archives and town office. Microfilming was made possible through a Washington County SARA grant and Dr. Asa Fitch Historical Society funds.
For the 2004-2005 year, a NYS Local Government Records Management Improvement Fund grant enabled the town to create its own historical archives, historian’s office, and inactive storage in the old Washington County Courthouse building at 58 East Broadway. All town records were moved from the inactive storage room in the Proudfit Building, as well as selected historical records from the Town Clerk’s Office on Main Street.
This historical archive index was prepared through the efforts of William A. Cormier, historian and grant coordinator, and Dolores Phaneuf, archival clerk. Cooperation from Mary Kilpatrick, town clerk, Cathy Chambers, clerk to the supervisor, Bruce Ferguson, supervisor, Janet Donoghue, planning board chairperson, Peg Culver, librarian, and Lois Jasek, assessor is gratefully acknowledged. Also thanks to Guy Capuano, Village Highway Superintendent and Robert Benn, courthouse building supervisor for the Historic Salem Courthouse Preservation Association for their assistance and advice. Special thanks to New York State records management coordinator, Ann Marie Pryzbyla, Region 4 RAO, New York State senior archivist, for her advice and support in this project.
The organization of materials and finding aids format for the archives was based on Guidelines for Arrangement and Description of Archives and Manuscripts: A Manual for Historical Records Programs in New York State, 1995.
