In July 1999 Essex Books began bringing the Essex Antiquarian back to life
by facsimile reprinting all thirteen volumes originally edited and
published from 1897 to 1909 by noted Essex historian and genealogist Sidney
Perley.

Volume I, II, III and IV are now available, and cover all twelve monthly
issues for 1897, 1898, 1899 and 1900 respectively. Each volume will be
republished sequentially until the series is complete. Volume V Will be
released in June and will be priced the same as volume I thru IV. Orders
are being accepted now for all five volumes.

The Subject Index to all 13 Volumes along with the Surname Index to Vol I
thru V is available at:

Long considered a "goldmine" of genealogical information, individual
monthly issues, when found used, sell for over ten dollars. Each of the
reprint volumes consists of approximately 200 pages the contents of which
are best described in Perley's own words:

Salem, Mass. 1897:
"Essex County is the most historic county in America, and the parent of
hundreds of towns and cities in various sections of the United States and
British Provinces. Its settlement began in 1623, and all of its towns and
cities were settled in that century.
The principal object of this magazine is to preserve the history and
genealogy of the county and to bring into ready use the records which are
unindexed and almost inaccessible, those that are in private as well as
public custody. These include admissions to and dismissions from the
churches, baptisms, births, marriages, deaths, intentions of marriages,
gravestone inscriptions, old newspaper news-items, advertisements and
obituary notices, parish records and tax lists, town-meeting records and
tax lists, probate records and original wills and other papers on file,
deeds, civil and criminal court records, proprietors' records, colonial,
provincial, and state records, Revolutionary and other soldiers' muster
rolls, etc., Bible records, account books, old letters, commissions,
interleaved almanacs, diaries, journals, etc.
Seven-eighths of the public records are not indexed, and none of them have
complete indexes of names. A vast amount of hidden historical and
genealogical material is thus brought into ready use.
The literary portion of the magazine will consist of biographies,
genealogies, sketches of local history, churches and old homesteads, of
early commerce, education and industries, ancient customs, etc. The
illustrations will consist of houses,
churches, maps, portraits, autographs, coats-of-arms, gravestones, ancient
furniture, articles of domestic use, apparel, etc.
The material which the editor has been for twenty years collecting for a
genealogical dictionary of the county, down to the year 1800, is being
published in the form of, genealogies. It includes the Ipswich Hammatt
Papers and the Essex County part of Savage's Genealogical Dictionary.
The early wills of the county are also being printed, verbatim et
literatim, in the order of their probate. The records of old Norfolk
County, which existed from 1643 to 1679 and included all towns north of the
Merrimac River at that period, will be published. The towns of Dover,
Portsmouth, Exeter, Hampton, etc., were then included in that county. The
records consist of births, marriages, deaths, deeds, wills, inventories,
etc., and have been almost inaccessible and their existence known but to few.
The support and co-operation of every person is needed, by subscription as
well as general interest.
