Ask a Librarian

The New York State Library provides e-mail reference services. Staff answering e-mail questions will provide you with:

• information about publications you could request from our collections through interlibrary loan,
• copies of material we can supply to you on a direct basis (usually for a fee), or
• information about other sources or places that might help to answer your question.

The Library can conduct limited genealogical research on your behalf. Please consult the Library's genealogy page for family history suggestions.
