-The Periodical Source Index, or PERSI, is the largest subject index to genealogy and local history periodical articles in the world, created by the staff of the [[Allen County Public Library|Allen County Public Library]] Foundation and the ACPL’s [[Allen County Public Library|Genealogy Center]]. PERSI indexes articles in periodical titles (including 3,000 defunct titles) published by thousands of local, state, national and international societies and organizations, arranging 2.7 million entries by surname or location and 22 basic subject headings. An important tool for genealogists looking for new avenues of investigation, PERSI’s usefulness is not limited to family history researchers.
