Get all free genealogy resources for your state, organized and ready to use — The Research Library
The Internet Archive has been around since 1996 and has a magnificent assortment of genealogical materials in many different categories of interest to genealogy researchers. It is a major resource; not to be missed.
I refer to it several times a week, and it is a major resource for all the links that The Ancestor Hunt curates and includes in its free online link collections for multiple genealogical categories.
Per Wikipedia, “As of September 5, 2024, the Internet Archive held over 866 billion web pages, more than 42.5 million print materials, 13 million videos, 3 million TV news reports, 1.2 million software programs, 14 million audio files, and 5 million images.“ Its’ Wayback Machine, essentially a capture of webpages over time, thus a digital archive of the World Wide Web, has over a trillion webpages.
