Sullivan County Links
| People often identify Sullivan County, NY, as a
particularly difficult
place to do historical or genealogical research. To some extent
that's true, but we're happy to do
our part to help publicize the resources that are available on the
internet. |
| We currently recommend the following websites
for information pertaining to all of Sullivan County or at least to a major
portion or aspect of it. Click on the website address to
go directly to the site mentioned. |
| The Sullivan County Historical Society (covers
the entire county -- of course it's stronger in some townships than others, but
SCHS is still an
essential place to anchor a search) |
http://www.sullivancountyhistory.org |
| Archives of the Middletown, NY Times
Herald-Record. (search
each archived year for "John Conway". Who's he?
He's the Sullivan
County Historian, as well as being an Adjunct Professor of History at Sullivan County
Community College. He writes a regular column about Sullivan County
history for that newspaper; definitely worth reading!) |

|
John Conway columns from the
Sullivan County Democrat To our delight,
John has set up a website to make make his columns from the Weekender
edition of this paper available. Good news for anyone interested in
Sullivan County history! |
http://www.sullivanretrospect.com/ |
| Minisink Valley Historical Society (not
strictly Sullivan County, but there's plenty of Sullivan County material
here). |
http://www.minisink.org |
| Neversink Valley Area Museum (not
strictly Sullivan County, but particularly strong in two areas: the
D&H Canal, and the early movie making industry) |
http://www.neversinkmuseum.org |
| Roscoe O&W Museum (given the
O&Ws rise and fall, and its role in the County, this site is important
-- and particularly for its locale in the northern end of the county) |
http://www.nyow.org/museum.html |
| The Catskills Institute
(to much of the
world, Sullivan County is synonymous with the fabled "Borscht
Circuit". Now, there is an academic institute located at Brown
University that studies the history and sociology of the Jewish experience in the
Catskills. You definitely don't have to be Jewish to appreciate what's on this
site!) |

|
| Delaware
County makes up much of the northern
border of Sullivan County. There's also been a fair amount of
migration between the two counties over the years. They do an
impressive amount of local history and genealogy compilation on a volunteer
basis in Delaware County, and here's a website that reflects their hard
work. |

|
|
The Eastern
Catskills are the primary
focus of this excellent website, which also has Borscht Belt and
railroading material. New and highly recommended!! |
