TO ONLINE DEPOSITORIES
For a
researcher to succeed in their Genealogy research it is essential that
they understand where records on family are
kept. To often researchers are led to believe that
records are kept on the Internet and while this true to some extent,
however, records are ultimately kept in Depositories around the
world. Our Library concentrates on Depositories in the U.S.
Those depositories include:
FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT DEPOSITORIES
These are governement depositories at the national level. The two
that the researcher is most likely to use are:
National Archives
Library
of Congress
STATE
AGENCIES
Each State has one or more state agencies responsible for historical
and government records. Most often that Agency is the State
Historical Society, or State Library and Archives.
