This subject index is to the first 21 books of western New York history by Arch Merrill. He was a newspaper columnist and his newspaper articles were collected into books over the years. Seeing as this index was published in 1964, it does not include his last two books; The Changing Years (1967) and From Pumpkin Hook to Dumpling Hill (1969).

A few of the books by Arch Merril are on this website. See the links to them on the On-line Books Page.

At the bottom of this page is an index to illustrations in the 21 books. It should be noted that reprints of the books in the 1980s and 1990s moved some illustrations to other pages within the books.
