| *'''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 [https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog '''Family History Library'''] may have microfilmed and/or digitized copies of them.
