The records at the State Archives only go to 1915. Later than that, you
need to get the information from the City/Town Clerk.

As told to me by Jodi, who does a lot of this, if the record is in the
restricted years, about 1917 and later, the clerk will not allow her to
read the actual record. The clerk will read the relevant information for
Jodi to write down.
