Subject Heading Index to the
Long Island and Patchogue Vertical Files
Celia M. Hastings Local History Room
Patchogue-Medford Library, Patchogue, New York
Compiled by Carrie Locke (updated 10/06)
The Vertical Files contain newspaper articles, papers, brochures and ephemera regarding the history of Long Island, New York and, more specifically, the history of Suffolk County, the Town of Brookhaven and Patchogue Village and its environs.
The complete subject heading and subheading index to the Long Island and Patchogue Vertical Files follows a short listing of subject headings. Ctrl + F can be used to search the index for all occurrences of a word or name. In order to go straight to a subject heading by bypassing all occurrences of a word, particularly town names that occur frequently, place an asterisk (*) after the subject you wish to find (e.g. Patchogue*). To access individual files in the Patchogue Vertical Files, use Ctrl + F, then place a plus sign (+) after the subfile name (e.g. Churches+, Politics & Government+ or History+).
Many entries are listed alphabetically by surname first (e.g., Chase, William Merritt). For common surnames such as Smith provide the surname and given name. For less common names, searching by only surname may take you directly to the information you seek.
Some subfiles have as few as a single item, others are more extensive, containing more than fifty items. Please call the Patchogue-Medford Library at 654-4700 ext. 240 before you come in, so we can advise you as to the contents of any particular file. Any questions or comments please email clocke@suffolk.lib.ny.us.
