We are happy to conduct research using the resources of the Society library for patrons who are unable to come in person.  We have a dedicated group of volunteer researchers who will work to answer your research queries.  

Research inquiries must be made in writing, either by mail or by email.

For email, please type the word "Inquiry" in the subject line and send to bgoodwin@windsorhistoricalsociety.org.

Please include your mailing address, daytime telephone number, and email address with all requests.

• Be specific and reasonable in your research questions.  “Tell me about the Phelps family” is too general.  “What information do you have about Stoughton family members living in Windsor in the 1600s?” or “Where was Joe Smith (d. 1790) buried?” are better questions.

• Include information such as dates of birth, death, or marriage, places lived, name of spouse, etc. in your query.

• Inform us of the maximum research and photocopy fees you are willing to pay.  A postage charge may also apply.   

• We will bill you after completing the research or meeting your maximum fee, whichever comes first. 

• Payment must be received before we will send research materials.  Please make checks out to the Windsor Historical Society.

• Because volunteers answer research queries, please be aware that it may take several weeks to receive a response.
