What is a finding aid?
Finding aids are tools used to describe how a collection is organized and provide a detailed list of its contents. The finding aids posted below describe only a small portion of our holdings at the Old York Historical Society’s Library and Archive, so please email research@oldyork.org for more information about our collections.
Please note that new finding aids will be added as we process our collections. Check back here for more updates, or visit our online collections database to search Old York’s collection as we continue to add new materials.
