=== Collection Description  ===
=== Collection Description  ===


The Logan Library Virginia Hanson Special Collections has a variety of historical materials related to [[Logan, Utah|Logan]] and [[Cache County, Utah Genealogy|Cache County]], Utah. In 2006 the Everton Genealogy Collection was donated to the library. It was opened to the public for two years but was then closed in April 2008. The staff of the library have since been working to add a portion of these books to the Virginia Hanson Special Collections. In addition to books, there is an expanding selection of archival and digital materials relating first to the City of Logan, second to Cache Valley, and third to the Bridgerland Region.<br>  
Founded in 1845, the New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS) is the oldest such society in the United States. They maintain an Internet database of over 100 million names, including vital records, compiled genealogies, and scholarly journals. They publish both&nbsp;''[http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/517962020 American Ancestors]'' and ''[[New England Historical Genealogical Register Online|The New England Historical Genealogical Register]]'' (''The Register''). Their catalog lists over 200,000 books, 100,000 microfilms, and other sources. The manuscript collection has over 20 million items with an emphasis on New England since the 1600s. The Society has educational research tours, lectures, seminars, and other events throughout the year.<ref name="Wik">"New England Historic Genealogical Society" in ''Wikipedia: The Free Encyclopedia'' at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_England_Historic_Genealogical_Society (accessed 30 August 2010).</ref> <ref>[http://www.americanancestors.org/education/learning-resources/read/using-the-nehgs-library/ Using the NEHGS Library] in ''American Ancestors" (accessed 21 September 2015).</ref> <ref name="DB55759">William Dollarhide and Ronald A.

This effort has already produced several published volumes in addition to the Internet database.<ref name="Wik" />&nbsp;You can see a tutorial at FamilySearch Learning Center of ''[https://familysearch.org/learningcenter/lesson/an-overview-of-the-nehgs-manuscript-collection/185 "An Overview of the NEGHS Manuscript Collection"]''.
