This is a list of links to Catskills history and research. Includes resources containing old postcards, great hotels of the catskills and other interesting items.

I live on the edge of the old Borscht Belt region of the Catskills in New York. While Googling for some history of those earlier times today, I came across a nice description, partially included below. The Borscht Belt was about 100 miles northwest of New York City in Sullivan and Ulster counties in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains. Sometimes known as the “Jewish Alps.”
