genealogical and historical sources—with coverage dating back to the
1700s.
The collection consists of six core data sets:

the original images of every extant federal census in the United
States, from 1790 through 1930, with name indexes for many decades. In
total the collection covers more than 140 million names.

family histories, local histories, and other books. Titles have been
digitized from our own renowned microform collections, as well from the
American Antiquarian Society via an exclusive partnership.
- Periodical Source Index (PERSI),
published by the Allen County Public Library, is recognized as the most
comprehensive index genealogy and local history periodicals. It
contains more than 2 million records covering titles published around
the world since 1800.

era.

more than 480,000 names of bank applicants, their dependents, and heirs
from 1865–1874, offers valuable data that can provide important clues

a email message.
Microfilm prints cost .15¢/page.
The microfilms listed
