Don't forget your state archives

Will from the Georgia State Archives Website

One of the sources of genealogical information often ignored are the various state archives. Although the content of the archives varies from state to state, they all contain many records unavailable in any other location. Some states, like California, have considerable online resources, others have yet to fund any significant online presence. In some states, there is a state library or library system that holds many of the records. In other states, many of the records are in the university libraries. But whatever the combination, starting with a search at the state archives can be productive.

Here is the first part of a list of links to each of the state archives with some of the territories also. Just click on the state to go to the state archives. In the next two posts, I will complete the list and then publish whole list in an additional post.
