3 comments on “A public library card and free databases for genealogists.”
Thanks for highlighting the many advantages of a library card for genealogists… All libraries would love to offer more, but budgets rarely allow for complete coverage. It’s great if you live in an area with more than one system that might offer different databases and services. The library where I work has Ancestry Library Edition, is a FamilySearch Affiliate, and has access to historical newspapers for the province (I’m in Canada), as well as access to some of the Gale databases, including The Times Historical Archive. We also have a local authors collection and work closely with the museums and archives in our area.
