Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter had an interesting post last week about the Smithsonian Libraries new research guide. Here is some information directly from the newsletter.
"The Smithsonian Libraries is home to millions of items so the folks there spend a lot of time sorting and cataloging all sorts of things. One new online resource created by the Smithsonian Libraries and Archives is a new Genealogy Research Guide."
Here are some of the websites that are included:
Adoption Resources for Discovering Your Birth Family
Geographic Names Information System (GNIS), Genealogy Timelines: Find the Gaps in Your Research!, Trace Indian Ancestry,
Bibliography of Books Related to Genealogical Research and Technology Available in ALIC (Archives Library and Information Center of the National Archives): Compiled by staff at the National Archives. Identifies resources related to genealogy and technology. The list provides an overview of publications that are likely available at local and other libraries.
Biography and Genealogy Master Index (an international database of more than 20 million biographical citations on more than 6 million persons, living and deceased, spanning 2,000 years of recorded history).
and many more...
