Vermont Research Guide

The Vermont Research Guide is a comprehensive guide for genealogists and historians in search of the major records repositories, collections, and resources – both print and online for genealogical research in Vermont.

This guide was written by Scott Andrew Bartley, professional genealogist, archivist, reference librarian, and project leader for the “Early Vermont Settlers to 1784 Project” for the New England Historic Genealogical Society. This is a 2024 joint publication of the Genealogical Society of Vermont and the Vermont French-Canadian Genealogical Society.

The Vermont Research Guide can be purchased for $20, plus $6 for shipping and handling to U.S. addresses.
