- Descriptions of sources for New York genealogy, such as probate, church, and census records.
- Descriptions of holdings of other New York State libraries and record repositories.
- "How to" articles on New York genealogical research, both statewide and for particular counties or cities, religious or ethnic groups, or time periods.
- Lists of accounts of New York families "hidden" in multi-family works, manuscript collections, and periodicals.
- Articles on New York families published in other periodicals, past and present.
Once known as The NYG&B Newsletter, the Researcher was founded by Henry Hoff and Harry Macy in 1990.
