Collections
The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center is more a museum (few original manuscripts) than an archive. However, it has a Family History Center for ordering microfilms, and Ancestry.com access on the Internet. They tell the history of the safe house and transportation network used to smuggle enslaved African Americans out of the slave states to freedom in the North before the American Civil War. The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center reveals stories about freedom’s heroes: the men, women and children who challenge inequities to pursue greater freedom for their brothers and sisters.


 * FamilySearch Catalog: This center has the ability to order any of the films and fiche available through the FamilySearch Catalog.

Databases and Software

 * FHC Portal This center has access to the Family History Center Portal page which gives free access in the center to premium family history software and websites that generally charge for subscriptions.
