Research Services

The Saratoga County Historical Society fosters research through access to its collections and library. We encourage the community to explore their past through our resources.

As a service to the public, we also offer research services for genealogical and historic house research projects. Due to the volume of requests received and the limited finances of our organization, Brookside must charge clients a fee for research. Your fees help improve our library and collections and are used solely for the public's benefit.

Research fees:
$20.00 ($15.00 members) for the first hour 
$15.00 for each additional hour (sorry, no member discount for additional hours)
$.25 cents per page for copies made outside of Brookside Museum
Shipping and tax charges (as applicable) will apply.

The Saratoga County Historical Society assists the public by providing a service to assist in the research of historic homes.
