Library Research Yesterday

Well, today I was unable to get any research done, but yesterday I went for a trip to the Yonkers Public Library. The Reference Dept. there is great, with their microfilm collection a great resource for those with family in the Yonkers area.

The newspapers they have include:

Yonkers Gazette (1857-1893; not fully complete)
Yonkers Statesman (1864-1932; early issues were a weekly publication)
Yonkers Herald (1891-1932)
Herald Statesman (1932-1998)
The Journal News (1999-present)
New York Times (1862-present)

They also have a rather large collection of Yonker City Directories, ranging from the 1860s.

I will be posting my findings from the library later today. Check back!
