The Historical Society of Pennsylvania, located in in Philadelphia, also has many resources of interest to genealogists. http://www.hsp.org/ Depending on the specific locations(s) your are researching, there may be local historical societies as well, or collections in the city or regional public libraries. For example, I had great service from the Easton Area Public Library, which covered some nearby New Jersey towns. And of course Cyndi's List has an area for Pennsylvania: http://www.cyndislist.com/pa.htm --Noelle Ohio At 06:18 AM 6/21/2003 -0700, Judy Belle Horick wrote: >Hi, Gretchen-- > >I spent a day at the Pennsylvania State Archives in Harrisburg and found a >lot. > The address is 350 North Street <www.phme.state.pa.us/>. > >Also, there's a tremendous amount of historical military information at >the War >College in nearby Carlisle.
