In January of 1939, Assistant City Historian Dr. Blake McKelvey published the first quarterly Rochester History, focusing on Rochester and western New York. Subjects researched and written by him and other scholars were edited, published and distributed by Dr. McKelvey to expand the knowledge of our local history. Studying local history as a microcosm of our nation's history has brought insight and understanding to scholars and researchers around the globe.

On the 50th anniversary of the publication, a decade-long project to index Rochester History was launched through the City Historian and the Rochester Regional Library Council. With funding from the Frances Kenyon Publication Fund, the City Historian's Office completed the index and will keep it updated. Making Rochester History available online was made possible by a Library Services and Technology Act federal grant. The goal of this grant was to share unique local resources electronically, thereby increasing awareness and access to local history for educational and research purposes.

You can search all articles using the Table of Contents below or you can search for specific topics in articles from 1939 to Spring 2007 with the Index.
