| Ancestry.com | |
 The library has added a popular database to its collection of online services. Ancestry.com is a massive genealogical collection, the most popular and perhaps the largest collection of online genealogical materials in the world. It contains literally billions of documents, including census materials, marriage records, the Social Security Death Index, immigration records, military records dating back to the colonial era, border crossing information, ship crossings, newsreels, family photos, maps, and legal documents. Also included are materials relating to Canada (60 million records), the United Kingdom (200 million records), Germany and Australia. The collection makes available information from over 7,000 different databases. It is available only within the library, making another reason our library buildings are an important destination in the community.
