More institutions and organizations are digitizing their collections and making them available to researchers online. However, not everything has been scanned and is made available digitally. Many documents and photographs can be found on websites, which is wonderful to the out-of-state researcher, but nothing compares to examining the documents for yourself or having access to the main collections. Online resources should be a tool for further research, not a replacement for sound in-person research. The following links are divided up into categories depending on where you live and your interests. Many of the websites have digital collections available online, but others only provide a detailed descriptions of their holdings. If you wish to acquire an image from an institution's website, ask about their reproduction, copyright, publication and/or fair use policies.
