The Buffalo History Museum is not a vital records repository. To get a copy of an official birth certificate, marriage license, or death certificate, you must contact the village, town, or city clerk where the event took place. Privacy restrictions apply. What we can offer instead is a short list of printed indexes of marriages and deaths that were announced in Buffalo newspapers or other published sources.

Although scientific and health research has been conducted on Peeps, most notably that appearing on the Peep Research website (see http://www.peepresearch.org), we have noted an absence of research focusing on the ability of Peeps themselves to actually do research. To address this lack, we invited a small group of Peeps to visit Staley Library at Millikin University during the week of March 17-21, 2003 so that we could more closely observe their research practices.
