-== Use a Handbook <br> ==
-A 'handbook' is a narrative explanation about how to conduct research, how to understand a given set of records, a summary of what records are available in a specific place, or a combination of all three. Reading a handbook is similar to taking a class--it helps you to learn more.&nbsp;
-Handbooks that discuss records are most helpful when they tell the time period in which the record existed, the content and value to a researcher, and where the record is currently housed.&nbsp;You will find a list of suggested handbooks in the Read More section below.
