A local history may also suggest other records to search. Local histories are extensively collected by the [https://www.familysearch.org/family-history-library/welcome-to-the-family-history-library Family History Library], public and university libraries, and state and local historical societies. The United States Research "[[United States History|History]]" page cites nationwide bibliographies of local histories which include histories of Vermont. | Some of the most valuable sources for family history research are local histories.
