ArchiveGrid

It's getting easier all the time to discover and search through archival collections. ArchiveGrid is one of the tools that's enabling us to do this.

"Thousands of libraries, museums, and archives have contributed nearly a million collection descriptions to ArchiveGrid. Researchers searching ArchiveGrid can learn about the many items in each of these collections, contact archives to arrange a visit to examine materials, and order copies."

Click the search box below to go run a sample search and see how many collections match your search terms. (You will only see the first three of these listed). Our local institutions have access, and your local ones may as well--go to their library pages and sign in for full access to the database, including links to images and detailed metadata.
