Beverly, formerly a part of Salem, became a town in 1668. Original records and transcripts are included in this collection, with some dated as early as 1653. The transcripts, with data arranged mostly in alphabetical order, are found on fiches 1-20, 28-32 and 46-56. Original records are found on fiches 21-27, 33-45 and 57-74.

The Beverly vital records are well indexed. Most of the early books contain an index. Beginning in 1843, the indexing is better organized than most towns. There are separate indexes for each of the birth, marriage and death registers.

Titles and dates underlined below are usually those found on the binding or frontispiece of the volume. Approximate, apparent or representative contents and dates are listed under the title and associated with fiche numbers. This set consists of 41 volumes on 151 fiches.

Beverly [Deaths 1796-1844].
A book of this description may no longer be a part of the official town records. Data includes cause of death, occupation and, sometimes, commentaries about the deceased. For example, note the entry on fiche 26T, page 1484, for William J. Manning, who died 1 June 1838 at age 81. The Clerk eulogized Manning, who, though born in Charles County, Virginia, served in a Massachusetts Regiment during the Revolutionary War.

Beverly Records of Publishments & Marriages 1833-1853. Vol 4.
Starting on page 1614, marriage intentions appear in two-page register format with date and place of birth of bride and groom, occupation of groom, names and residence of parents, along with marriage certification. Birth dates as early as 1772 appear. Some entries, however, create more questions than answers; e.g., why did the clerk note (fiche 28T, p 1612) "a false move" before recording the 1844 intention of John Woodberry and Abigail Woodberry?
