Please not that we are currently experiencing problems with the year display file and a few other search functions, we hope to have these problems resolved shortly.

In 1891, James N. Arnold began publishing a series of vital records books for the towns of Rhode Island. The series would go on to include church records and newspaper records, ultimately filling twenty-one volumes with information.

These volumes are available for viewing at the NEHGS Research Library, call number REF F78/A75.
