USGenWeb Archives was created to solve a major problem: preserving volunteer-created genealogy content in a stable, centralized location. While USGenWeb county sites are independently maintained, USGenWeb Archives acts as a long-term home for transcriptions, organized by state and county.

For genealogists, USGenWeb Archives is often:

  • easier to navigate than individual county sites
  • more stable over time
  • a backup for content lost elsewhere

It is especially valuable when original USGenWeb county pages disappear.
