Dear Colleagues,
ArchiveGrid http://www.archivegrid.org is a new web site that offers faculty,
scholars, librarians, and genealogists unparalleled access to archive records
and finding aids to enable you to do extensive primary research on
your subject. Search through nearly a million collection descriptions
and get the information you need to arrange a visit or order copies. Discover
hidden collections or confirm the scope of collections you already know.
Save research time by locating exact box and shelf information so
that your time on-site will be spent studying relevant materials, not looking
for them.
Access to ArchiveGrid is free now through May 31, thanks to a funding grant
to support wider use by the academic community and general public. If additional
grants funds or sponsorship is obtained, ArchiveGrid will remain free of
charge after June 1; otherwise subscriptions will be available for institutions
and individuals alike.
To get started, here are sample searches to copy and paste into the search
box:
- Captain Cook
- hospital
sanitation smallpox
- October Revolution Russia
- Treaty Versailles
- Irish Emigration
- Balfour Declaration
ArchiveGrid has been developed by RLG, a not-for-profit membership organization
of libraries, archives, and cultural organizations worldwide.
