When you have run out of research resources, try WorldCat, a free online catalog of library materials. WorldCat is a key resource for genealogists. It is the world's largest library database. It contains information for more than 68 million items owned by 7,600 libraries around the world. Constant growth makes WorldCat a rich resource for genealogists who seek primary source materials.
Sample searches include family names, organizations, and geographic locations. If you find an item of interest, WorldCat will tell you which libraries own it. You may be able to travel to that library to view the item, or we may be able to borrow it for you. Some libraries have even posted digitized versions of library materials such as Bible records.
Many genealogists have furthered their research through WorldCat. Read one of the many real-life success stories. If you would like more information or help searching, please contact one of our genealogy and local history librarians at 826-3712 or via email.
