I just learned about this fabulous resource yesterday. I am a geek when it comes to digital forms of old books, and use Google Books a lot. Some how though, I had never heard of this until now. From their website:
"The HathiTrust Digital Library brings together the immense collections of partner institutions in digital form, preserving them securely to be accessed and used today, and in future generations."
I haven't fully explored all the options yet, but just a cursory search for Westchester County, New York brings up a wealth of information.

I will definitely be using this for a resource in my future research. I love old books, and while I would much rather have a paper copy to hold in my hands, this is the next best thing. Thank you to the Roots Tech community for pointing this out to me (I found it in one of the handouts from online).
