Library & Archives Our collections have been assembled during the past 100 years with materials that reflect the 300 year history of Suffolk County, its ten towns, and its inhabitants. Besides histories, the library contains genealogies, biographies, periodicals, town records, ledgers, diaries, photographs, postcards, maps and atlases, cemetery transcriptions, ancestor charts, scrapbooks, Bible records and newspapers. Federal and state censuses for Suffolk County are also available on microfilm. Currently the library has more than 20,000 volumes and over 840 cubic feet of manuscripts. In addition, our library and archives is the repository of the holdings of the National Society of the Daughters of the Revolution of 1776 (D of R). This organization was distinct from the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), and our D of R holdings reflect different lineages from those found in DAR records. The D of R membership applications have been indexed. This index is a database that can be searched by the Patriot's name or by the D of R Applicant’s name. This database is available at the website of the German Genealogy Group along with a printable request form for use in ordering copies of the D of R applications from our library. The fee is $10 per D of R application. Also at the German Genealogy site is an index to our Ackerly Collection, a set of notebooks in our library holdings that mention many 17th-, 18th-, and 19th-century Suffolk residents. LIBRARY POLICY RESEARCH SERVICES For those unable to visit the society, research services are available for specific research questions by regular mail, telephone, or e-mail. Requests are taken in turn. Every effort is made to complete the research within a reasonable time. However, turnover time is dependent on subject, resources of the library, and availability of volunteer researchers.
