Many of the traditional printed indexes to obituaries and death notices
have been supplanted by online resources, but there are still a number
of indexes that are only available in print. Below is a list of some
of the more heavily used print indexes to newspapers and specialized
indexes for obituaries. You can find more printed indexes in the library’s
catalog CATNYP. One popular online
index, PERSI (available through the Heritage
Quest database) can be used to locate death notices and obituaries
reprinted in genealogical and historical journals.
