Home History Resources

Discover the story behind your Greene County house and all the people who have called it home. When you book a research appointment at the Vedder Research Library, you will have access to resources such as:

• Census Data

• Greene County Directories

• Historical Maps and Atlases

• Photographic Collections

• Manuscript Collections

• Subject Files

• Tax Assessment Rolls

• & more…

We strongly recommend searching for previous deeds before visiting the library. The more you know about previous owners, the more you will be able to learn about your home during your time here.

Here are some online resources to help you get started:

• House History How-to: A Guide for Resources and Techniques to Research Property History in Greene County, New York, from the Office of the Greene County Historian

• Greene County Clerk's Office Digitized Deeds: SearchIQS

• Greene County Real Property Tax Service: Web Map

Please note: Our staff currently consists of one part-time employee and a handful of volunteers. Because of this, we are unable to conduct comprehensive research on your behalf. The best way to see our collections is to book a research appointment.
