Local libraries and historical societies usually collect biographies and histories about local residents. Directories have been published indexing the bibliographical information of these books, and there are a few bibliographies using these sources published online. Additionally, Our Roots Nos Racines has received permission to publish a few online. Similarly in some cases, local communities and rural municipalities have placed their books online if they are not going into re-print. | Local libraries and historical societies usually collect biographies and histories about local residents.
