Using ArchiveGrid to Find Manuscript Collections (New Quicksheet)
ArchiveGrid is a powerful but underused discovery tool containing more than 5 million archival collection descriptions from libraries, historical societies, museums, and university archives worldwide.
For genealogists, ArchiveGrid is one of the best ways to locate manuscript collections, diaries, letters, photographs, organizational records, business papers, and local history materials related to families, towns, occupations, and ethnic communities. This Quicksheet highlights how ArchiveGrid works, what genealogical clues you’ll find, and how to use it to uncover unique primary sources unavailable in online databases.
