State by State: A Closer Look!

Introduction: Why this class? Most of us are well aware of Google and the ongoing growing collections of the major online genealogical vendors. We might not be as aware, however, of digital resources available at the local and collegiate level, from small town archives to the local city college just down the street. With many of these institutions archival content just now coming online, these untapped resources might hold the key to your next genealogical project! So, how do we find these resources? Very often, rich, untapped veins of family history, facts, and stories ranging from photos, audio notes and much more are available for your use and study online at these locations. In this class today, we'll snapshot these resources at the state and regional level, giving you leads and information that stand out as excellent places to get your research rolling. Ready? Let's get started......

State by State Breakdown

Northeast Region

Some of the oldest states in the Union are found in this group and many of the genealogical holdings contained in these states are well known and well used. However, there are some untapped resources still to be found.

Examples include the Cambridge Vermont Historical Society, Rutgers and others.

Midwest Region

The Midwest is my home region and the genealogical resources located in these states are impressive and still growing! Many colleges are just now bringing their archives into the digital age, so it’s important to look at these resources first. Don’t overlook however what the state libraries are offering as well.

Southern Region

The Southern Region encompasses the well known archives and digital resources of

the federal government as well as many library and collegiate digital resources. Today, we’ll temporarily “overlook” the more common ones and help you focus in on materials and information leads in the college and local library
