Here tis Nancy, I finally decided to make a file on RI research addys that I send out all the time so I wouldn't have to sort through the RI general genealogy file I had made which is packed and really should be broken down into more specialized files anyway. Rhode Island State Archives 337 Westminster Street Providence, Rhode Island 02903 Telephone: (401) 222-2353 Fax: (401) 222-3199 Email: reference@sec.state.ri.us Web: www.state.ri.us/archives/ ~~website is poorly designed and pretty much useless from a genealogy point of view. Open to the public Monday-Friday 8:30 am - 4:30 pm Deaths from about 1856 to 1957. Births and marriages from about 1856 to 1907. On 1 Jan of each year, another years records are released so 1957/1907 will increase to 1958/1908 next 1 Jan 09. Anything which falls after 1957/1907 must be obtained from the RI Health Dept. / Vital Records. Archives also has RI State Censuses done on the "5" years from 1865 - 1935 with the exception of 1895 which is MIA.
