Most of the indexes are available online. To find a certificate, it is necessary to search an index to identify the Borough, year filed, and the certificate number. The records of each Borough are filed separately. The certificates are numbered consecutively beginning with certificate number one on January 1 of each year. Most of the vital records are in a certificate format. The birth, death and marriage records are filed and indexed according to the Borough where the event took place. The holdings of the Municipal Archives include all extant vital records for the five boroughs as well as the towns and villages that were consolidated into the Greater City of New York in 1898. If the event occurred outside the five boroughs, the record would be on file at the New York State Department of Health in Albany, or in some instances, with the clerk of the local town. Births reported after 1910, and deaths reported after 1948 are available from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and marriages reported after 1949 are available from the Office of the City Clerk. Historical records of births, deaths and marriages that occurred in New York City are maintained in the Municipal Archives. What are vital records, and why are they important?
