The NY Genealogical and Biographical Society (NYGBS) announced they have
published a new guide of the New York City Municipal Archives: An Authorized
Guide for Family Historians. The Guide includes coverage of vital records
of births, marriages, and deaths; court records; real estate records; and
photographs. Less well known collections also are covered, including early
records of the Dutch and English colonial eras; extensive Farm Histories
that trace deed chains for former Manhattan farms to their earliest days;
records of the Civil War Volunteer Soldiers' Family Aid Fund; and Almshouse
Records, which span 200 years and provide information on the inmates of
numerous City institutions. To read more or order the book see:

I have no affiliation with the NYGBS and am posting this as many Jewish
genealogists have an interest in New York City vital and other records for
their family history research.
