Archives A to Z

Archives A to Z is a glossary explaining archives and special collections terms and tools. Take a crash course in different types of records (and find out  what a "record" is). What is a finding aid? What are vital statistics? How did the naturalization process work? Where can I find Native American materials? Read about tools like ArCat, Ancestry.com, BLM/GLO homestead patents, and SSDI. Learn about genealogical research, how to conduct house history, local history tools, and much more.
