+GSP maintains over 200 online collections in [https://genpa.org/gsp-collections/ the Ruth Bitting Hamm Digital Library]. Many of these collections can be found in the [https://genpa.org/gsp-collections/ Member Collections] section of the website. Featured member collections include: [https://genpa.org/member-collections/mahanoyhs_berryman/ the Berryman Collection] (extensive collection of church and cemetery records and other transcriptions and family history information from several Pennsylvania counties compiled by Mrs. Walter A Berryman), [https://genpa.org/member-collections/public-ledger-newspaper-indexes/ Philadelphia Public Ledger Newspaper Indexes Collection] (fully searchable indexes to origins of immigrants, local affairs, marriages, and deaths from the Philadelphia Public Ledger: 1836 – 1878), and [https://genpa.org/member-collections/john-t-humphrey-pennsylvania-births-books/ the John T. Humphrey collection of Pennsylvania birth records]. Mr. Humphrey's collection consists of baptisms extracted from early Pennsylvania church records. John T. Humphrey, the late noted Pennsylvania genealogist, left the rights to his collections to the Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania. The online collection includes all 16 books representing 15 counties and the records are fully-text searchable. A helpful GSP Website Tips page gives more information on how best to use the website and learn about GSP's collections.
+The Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania Library includes books and collections of church, cemetery, and funeral home records, family records for early GSP members, and reference books for Pennsylvania research.  The [https://genpa.org/genealogical-society-of-pennsylvania-library-catalog/ library catalog] appears on the website, with new books and collections being added regularly. GSP has several manuscript collections and collections not yet listed online, however, the website is regularly updated. Many of GSP's old tangible materials created in the 19th and 20th centuries are now located at the [[Historical Society of Pennsylvania]].
