Expanded Access to NEHGS databases

For a number of years now, the Library has subscribed to 200 data sources made available in electronic form by the New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS).  NEHGS does not allow remote access to its American Ancestors web site; one had to use a computer in Olin Library in order to consult the resources.

We have recently been able to add Uris and Kroch libraries to the facilities that can connect to the site.  The data sources available include town and vital records, diaries, court, land, and probate records, and the full text of many genealogical periodicals and books.  It can be a useful supplement to anyone working in New England and New York history.

You can find American Ancestors by searching for that name in the catalog or simply going to http://www.americanancestors.org from a computer in OKU.
