Yes, an appointment is recommended. To ensure that there is Archives staff available to assist with researchers needs, please telephone the Archives at (845) 340-3415. It is recommended that appointments be made at least twenty-four hours in advance. In addition, by telephoning the Archives a researcher will have an opportunity to speak with an Archives staff member regarding their specific search request.

While appointments are recommended, walk-ins are welcome.  Requests for copies can be made in person and the copies will be mailed to you.  However, if you wish to view records from the Archives then you may have to return for an additional appointment.  Contact Us for more information.
