There are relatively few
volumes dedicated solely to aspects of the history of Town of New
Baltimore. However, publications about Greene County history and
surrounding communities also are informative. Some still may be
available for sale. The Vedder Research Library of the Greene
County Historical Society sells a few and holds the majority among its
collections, albeit for in-Library use only. Others can be
obtained at your local public library, directly or through interlibrary
loan. This list may be updated at new items surface.
