{{TOC right}}Most archives and libraries collect records about local residents (biographies, family histories, and local histories) and about nearby places (maps, gazetteers, and place-finding aids).

Before you visit an archive or a library, contact them and ask for information on their collection, hours, services, and fees.<br><br> | {{TOC right}}Most archives and libraries collect records about local residents (biographies, family histories, and local histories) and about nearby places (maps, gazetteers, and place-finding aids).
