ARCHIVES AND LIBRARIES In addition to the Family History Library, other record repositories with major collections and services for genealogists are described below. The Family History Library has copies of many of the records at these archives, but most repositories will have additional sources. They often have compiled biographies and family and local histories. Some have maps, gazetteers, and other place-finding aids. When one of these institutions is referred to elsewhere in this outline, return to this section for the address or web site.
Computers with modems are important tools for obtaining information, including information from selected archives and libraries. The Internet, certain computer bulletin boards, and commercial on-line services help family history researchers:
You can find computerized research tips and information about ancestors from New Hampshire in a variety of sources at local, state, national, and international levels. The list of sources is growing rapidly, and most of the information is available at no cost. The following sites are gateways linking you to more network and bulletin board sites (addresses are subject to change):
