1. The paradigm shift has just begun. California now has over 10% of the U.S. population. When all is said and done, according to current legislation passed, California will have a combined statewide consortium containing circa 70 millions of books alone. This aside, due to the high ethnic diversity and transition of family records and artifacts into the state by migrations from all over the world, California is destined to become a central depository resource for Genealogy and Family History, worldwide. Melvyl® is just the tip of the iceberg. 2. STUDY: UCD Melvyl® Library Information & Links http://www.dcn.davis.ca.us/~vctinney/archive2.htm#shields It is full of online resources.

That's a great post and looks like a wonderful resource duh-- Does this say that you Californias now have more resources than anybody? and Is this a catalog or does it also have online resources? Thanks a lot Regards, Patricia

Historically, the model for research facilities use in genealogy and family history [in the United States] centered first on the East Coast, with the subsequent gradual takeover in the field of Family History, beginning circa A. D. 1900, by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, (headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah). Presently, on the East Coast, the Library of Congress Online Catalog has a database of "approximately 12 million records representing books, serials, computer files, manuscripts, cartographic materials, music, sound recordings, and visual materials in the Library's collections." http://catalog.loc.gov/ This is further enhanced by major research depositories from New England - to the South, as well as some other locations in the Central section of the United States. This can be compared with the LDS FHC of Salt Lake City, Utah, having 2,000,000 + microfilms and approximately 280,000 bound volumes. REF: The World of Learning 1999, Forty-Ninth Edition, by Europa Publications Limited. http://www.familysearch.org/Browse/browse.asp On the West Coast, in the State of California, there is the Melvyl® Catalog Database. Its contents, as of December 6, 1999 are listed as: "approximately 10,013,139 Titles representing 15,226,500 holdings for materials in the University of California Library and the California State Library". http://www.melvyl.ucop.edu/ This represents a major PARADIGM SHIFT in the field of Genealogy and Family History Research, as this database alone represents more resources than those contained in the Online Library of Congress Catalog. Limited in-house access to Other Databases includes RLIN Bibliographic File (@RLG) http://www.rlg.org/rlin.html of approximately 88 million records, as well as WorldCat (@OCLC) and its 32 + million records. http://www.oclc.org/oclc/man/6928fsdb/worldcat.htm SOURCES and REFERENCES, at: http://www.dcn.davis.ca.us/~vctinney/archives.htm#Sources combines these major holdings with other online databases of genealogical interest - worldwide.

It has been estimated that in the State of California, alone, that by the 1990s, there were over 70 millions of books within the various library systems, statewide.

Hello Everyone: I have fixed the death index and changed back to having pages in text format. The cgi thing was nice, but I don't know enough about it (yet) to keep it working properly. Maybe when I win the lottery I can pay someone to do the tech stuff. So--everything is back to the way it was, pretty much. I still have some fine tuning to do. And I will add the info that was put on the other site to this one asap. I'm sorry about the inconviences, but it should be smooth sailing now. I hope you all will visit and add your info--Nettie Mae a.. My Family Connections: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~nettimae/ b..

Sorry list, I decided to stay out of it and not send that last e-mail about Essex and put it in my draft box, then accidentally sent it. At least you know how I feel. Larry

I agree. Some of these "New" sites come through so often that it seems like more than enough. The Essex site that we are talking about states "Essex's counties bookstore on the web. Visit us for a secure order." That sounds like a solicitation to me, and that is not what I am looking for on a mailing list. I support Rootsweb, but not so that I can get more spam in my inbox. Just my opinion, I could be wrong.
