FREE
information is something that always catches our attention.
Though FREE
databases are valuable to us, information about records, their availability and
their history are also very important as is historical information for a locale
(local, county, state and country). It
doesn’t matter if a record exists if we don’t know about it nor know how to
access it.
I mention
this because a great, and often under-utilized, resource are the FREE
newsletters produced by many State Archives and/or Historical Societies.
I was
reminded of this when I received notice that the Kentucky Historical Society
introduced a FREE online newsletter, Kentucky Ancestors Online. As described in the launch PR
...
The
On a
related note, I also learned that the North
Carolina Historical Review has become available via JSTOR for the years 1924-2012. Check out the
articles below on how you might be able to gain FREE access to these via JSTOR.
The New
Hampshire Historical Society also has a free E-newsletter
as does the Maine Historical Society. Does your state historical society
have a newsletter?
Or, maybe
your county historical publishes a newsletter such as Columns (Pike County Historical Society (PA)) or The Historical Bulletin (Brown County Historical Society
(WI). Does your county historical society
have a newsletter?
Remember
that there are also religious and other type historical societies which have
relevance to our research such as the American Baptist Historical Society and
its newsletter, Primary Source or the Free
Methodist Historical Newsletter. Does
your faith’s historical society have a newsletter?
Please share news about any FREE
newsletters for historical societies which might be of interest to
genealogists!
