What is an archive?
ar·chive
Noun
Plural noun: archives
A collection of historical documents or records providing information about a place, institution, or group of people.
Which archive has the records you need?
Sometimes a whole archive will be devoted to one issue but many times an archive will own many collections. So how do you find archive materials when you don't know where to search?
TIP: You most likely won’t have the time or the ability to visit various archives in person so filter your search results to "digitized records" only.
