- The Nye Index at the State Archives is a name and subject index to 18th and 19th Century (mostly pre-1840) Vermont state records (called the Manuscript Vermont State Papers). All the index data on the records from the 18th Century have been entered into an online Nye database. For more information see the Manuscript Vermont State Papers.
