Hello, I am forwarding this (sight unseen) since it is time-sensitive. Hope it is helpful to someone. Mona ----- Original Message ----- From: Anne Brown<mailto:awb@chesapeake.net> To: NYC-ROOTS-L@rootsweb.com<mailto:NYC-ROOTS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, April 24, 2006 6:30 PM Subject: [NYC] New Nationwide Archives Resource Dear Listers, This is new to me, so maybe it is to some of you, as well. ArchiveGrid has indexed archives from all over the country. For the time being, it's free. Go to: http://archivegrid.org/web/jsp/index.jsp<http://archivegrid.org/web/jsp/index.jsp> . I ran across several inaccuracies involving access (who owns what, what can be photocopied, etc.), but I suspect it was faulty information from the supplying archives and not the fault of ArchiveGrid. Here is the description from the homepage: ArchiveGrid is an important destination for searching through historical documents, personal papers, and family histories held in archives around the world. Thousands of libraries, museums, and archives have contributed nearly a million collection descriptions to ArchiveGrid. Researchers searching ArchiveGrid can learn about the many items in each of these collections, contact archives to arrange a visit to examine materials, and order copies. ArchiveGrid is available to both individuals and institutions free of charge through May 31st. If additional grants funds or sponsorship are obtained, ArchiveGrid will remain free of charge; otherwise subscriptions will be available for institutions and individuals alike.
