INDEX TO THE HISTORICAL ARCHIVES

OF THE

TOWN OF SALEM SALEM, NY

WASHINGTON COUNTY

HISTORIAN'S COLLECTION DR. ASA FITCH HISTORICAL SOCIETY COLLECTION

Revised January 2016 William Cormier, Historian

The following lists contain the archival records of the village of Salem and represent only a part of all administrative records generated by the village. 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 growing microfilm collection, which consists of local newspapers, vital records, town minutes and the Dr. Asa Fitch Jr. Journals, was created. Microfilming was made possible through a Washington County SARA grant. In the 1994-95 year, a New York State LGRMIF grant made possible an historical archives indexing project. This project was completed through the efforts of William A. Cormier, historian and grant coordinator; Dorothy Shane, archival clerk; and Patricia Baltz, typist and proof reader, with the cooperation from Mary Kilpatrick, town clerk and Peg Culver, librarian. At present, Salem's village archives are housed in the History Room off the Bancroft Library in the Proudfit Building. Other village records, kept by the village clerk, village justice, and fire department, are found in the village office in the Proudfit Building. Inactive records are stored in the Inactive Record Storage Room in the Proudfit Building. Since access to these materials is limited to village office and Bancroft Library open hours, and because the use of archival materials is governed by our research application policy, the public is requested to call ahead for an appointment. Correspondingly, the village historian will meet with researches on an appointment basis. Most recently, William A. Cormier, historian, and Dolores Phaneuf, archival clerk, updated the village of Salem historical index, and through a 2004-2005 LRGMIF Historical Archive Project, created a new and separate index for the town of Salem historical archives located in the old Washington County Courthouse building. Researches are directed to check both indexes in their search for information. Thanks go to Mary Kilpatrick, town clerk, for her cooperation. 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.
