Our award-winning quarterly journal, The Westchester Historian, publishes the latest scholarly research on Westchester history. Published continuously since 1925, it has been indexed (1925-1989 and 1990-current) and issues for 1925-1989 are available on microfilm.

Our current article The Isadora Duncan Influence in Westchester, written by Jane Northshield explores the life of dancer Isadora Duncan and her sister Elizabeth, their school, and their performances. This article was published in the Summer 1996 (Volume 72, No. 3) issue of The Westchester Historian.
