- 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.
In Slovakia there are several types of genealogical repositories:
- National Archives
- Regional Archives
- City Archives
- Military Archives
- Church Archives
- Church Parish Offices
- University and Public Libraries
- Historical and Genealogical Societies
