In anticipation of extensive historic preservation work on John Jay’s historic Bedford House, all our collections and archives have been relocated to NY State Parks’ Bureau of Historic Sites centralized collections care facility at Peebles Island State Park.
John Jay Homestead State Historic Site has limited archival holdings of original Jay family papers and photographs. Areas of particular interest are family subjects, slavery and antislavery, and agriculture.
The most comprehensive and accessible resource of John Jay papers is The Papers of John Jay, an online image database and indexing tool maintained by the Columbia University Libraries.
