Recently, I stumbled upon a Maine website that provides the ability to search multiple online historical collections that were provided by Advantage Archives in conjunction with Maine libraries. The website where you can perform this search is at
https://www.mainegenealogy.net/community_archives_search.asp
I have not seen any other state provide this multi-collection search. This is a very useful feature. Congratulations to the Maine Genealogy website for making this available to Maine researchers.
