Berkshire Family Historian

Berkshire Family Historian is a Member benefit sent quarterly each year. Back issues are available to Members via the Member Portal.


Berkshire Genealogist

Berkshire Genealogist is the out-of-print quarterly publication previously sent to Berkshire Family History Association Members. A compilation of censuses, indices, reports, cemetery and church records, etc. relating to persons and places of Massachusetts and its neighboring states of New York, Vermont, and Connecticut, the Genealogist was published four times a year.

BFHA has created indexes for a number of publications and research materials available at the Local History & Genealogy Department at Berkshire Athenaeum, Pittsfield’s Public Library. While many indexes are available at the Athenaeum, BFHA offers digital downloads for purchase to some of the more widely-used materials.
