Colonial Records from UK Repositories Now Available at Our Fingertips! 

by Diane L. Richard

We can now access UK records documenting Colonial U.S. history from thecomfort of our homes. Previously, trips to the UK or delving into black binders full of finding aids were the only options. Diane will discuss several platforms – some directly available to consumers and some accessible via institutional affiliation – on how we can now access these important colonial documents.
