Hundreds of libraries and archives exist online

clipped from oedb.org



Hundreds of libraries and archives exist online, from university-supported
sites to individual efforts. Each one has something to offer to researchers,
students, and teachers. This list contains over 250 libraries and archives
that focus mainly on localized, regional, and U.S. history, but it also
includes larger collections, eText and eBook repositories, and a short list of
directories to help you continue your research efforts.


The sites listed here are mainly open access, which means that the digital
formats are viewable and usable by the general public. So, such sites as the
Connecticut Digital Library
(iCONN)
are not listed, as they operate on the premise that the user has a Connecticut
library card in his or her possession.


The sites listed below focus on a certain state's towns, cities, counties, or
regions within a given state. If a state is missing from this list (such as
Rhode Island), it's because that state hasn't begun to compile digital
archives online.
