Get all free genealogy resources for your state, organized and ready to use — The Research Library
The Allen County Public Library (ACPL) Genealogy Center is a major genealogical research destination, even for researchers who never set foot in Indiana. While best known as a physical library, the Genealogy Center also provides extensive online databases, digital collections, indexes, and research tools that are freely accessible.
For genealogists, the ACPL Genealogy Center is valuable because it:
- aggregates hundreds of specialized genealogy databases
- provides access to unique digitized materials
- hosts indexes not found on major genealogy websites
- serves as a gateway to local, state, and national records
Many researchers underestimate what is available online and assume ACPL is only useful in person. This Quicksheet focuses on what you can use remotely.
