This two volume work is essential reading for the Staten Island genealogist or historian. Since it is out of copyright, many entities are offering reproductions for sale, mostly on CD. The entire work is available online for free at the American Libraries Internet Archive. You can select the format in which you want to view the book, including text, PDF, and the extremely wonderful, full color FlipBook format, which is as close to reading the hard copy as you can get, but with the added advantage of being able to search the text.
