Access Genealogy is an aggregation site, which means that it has a number of genealogy categories for all of the United States. Its primary feature is links to other collections on other websites. Most of these are free, but there are multiple links to subscription databases, such as Ancestry. It does have an abundance of records on the site itself. It started in 1999. 

From their website: “AccessGenealogy.com contains the largest collection of free genealogy for your United States research. Find hundreds of thousands of free websites with billions of names you can use to further your family genealogy! Specifically, we provide sources for birth records, death records, marriage records, census records, tax records, church records, court records, military records, historical newspapers, cemeteries, and ethnic records.

I have found this site to be useful from time to time. It combines a large link collection with various transcribed records, collections, and documents.
