March 12 Workshop

The mini topic this week focused on the Internet Archive, a huge website containing books, movies, software and links to other websites. State and local libraries would be of most interest to genealogists, with access to city directories, law volumes, county histories and family histories.

We looked at some examples from various sources: Scottish directories and family histories, "Reclaim the Records" from New York, and county histories from Wisconsin.

Visit www.archive.org to explore this website. Be sure to use the "texts" selection for best results.
