About this organization
Mission
Founded in 1869, the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society (NYG&B) is New York's largest - and oldest - genealogical organization. A membership organization, the NYG&B engages with thousands of individuals each year through its activities. The NYG&B community includes those with an interest in tracing their own New York story—and in the preservation of those stories for future generations. The mission of the NYG&B is to preserve, document, and share the stories of families across the state of New York. We actively foster connections between New York’s past and the present.
About
As a membership organization, the NYG&B welcomes anyone with an interest in researching their personal family history or the family histories of others. Our membership includes thousands of genealogists, historians, and others from across the country. Our website, newyorkfamilyhistory.org provides access to extensive records from across the state of New York and is available as a benefit of membership in the NYG&B. We also produce the New York Knowledgebase which is a wide variety of online research aids, and individual for each of New York's 62 counties. The NYG&B also offers personalized consultations and other services. We publish two essential quarterlies: The Record, a peer-reviewed scholarly journal of great distinction in continuous publication since 1870, and New York Researcher. Membership in the NYG&B includes a subscription to both publications, along with access to previously published issues. The NYG&B also publishes books and other materials to assist those researching in New York including the monumental, New York Family History Research Guide and Gazetteer, the first and only comprehensive guide of its kind. We published the New York City Municipal Archives: An Authorized Guide for Family Historians in the fall of 2016, and have more publications on the way. We produce a broad range of educational programming, including lectures from noted genealogical experts, hands-on research tours, and New York's only statewide genealogical conference, the New York State Family History Conference. We also partner with organizations including the New York Public Library to develop educational programs for communities, including students, teachers, and others.
