- Archives collect and preserve original documents of organizations such as churches or governments. Libraries generally collect published sources such as books, maps, and microfilm.
- If you plan to visit a repository, contact them and ask for information about their collection, hours, services, and fees. Ask if they require you to have a reader’s ticket (a paper indicating you are a responsible researcher) to view the records, and ask how to obtain one.
- Although the records you need may be in an archive or library, the FamilySearch Library may have microfilmed and/or digitized copies of them.

Collections and Research Library
- The aim of the Belau National Museum Research Library is to collect, preserve, and make accessible to the public, documents and literature about Palau and Micronesia and to a lesser extent the Pacific. As collections in the library are sensitive to the elements, the Belau National Museum Library is not a circulation library, but welcomes visitors to visit and research during museum hours.
- The library holds over 5,000 volumes, as well as numerous periodicals, maps, posters, research papers and articles. Rare books include original volumes by Augustin Kramer, a German anthropologist who documented Palauan life and culture in the early 1900's. Other rare materials include Account of the Pelew Islands, Japanese language books, and original field notes.
