| === Computer Networks and Bulletin Boards ===
| |
|
| |
| Computers with modems can be useful tools for obtaining information from selected archives and libraries. In a way, computer networks themselves serve as a library. The Internet, certain computer bulletin boards, and commercial on-line services help family history researchers:
| |
|
| |
| *Locate other researchers.
| |
| *Post queries.
| |
| *Send and receive E-mail.
| |
| *Search large databases.
| |
| *Search computer libraries.
| |
| *Join in computer chat and lecture sessions.
| |
|
| |
| You can find computerized research tips and information about ancestors from British Columbia in a variety of sources at local, state, national, and international levels. The list of sources is growing rapidly. Most of the information is available at no cost.
| |
|
| |
| Addresses on the Internet change frequently. As of September 1997, the following sites are important gateways linking you to many more network and bulletin board sites:
