American Indian Archives and Libraries

United States Archives and Libraries  American Indians  Archives and Libraries

Most archives and libraries collect records about local residents (biographies, family histories, and local histories) and about nearby places (maps, gazetteers, and place-finding aids). They often compile reference helps and special indexes to important local sources. In many communities they serve as a meeting place for local historical and genealogical societies, and may be able to provide referrals to people who are willing to look up information in local records. Before you visit an archive or a library, contact them and ask for information on their collection, hours, services, and fees.

When one of these institutions is referred to elsewhere on this Wiki page, return to this section for the address.

The Family History Library has copies of many of the records found in archives and libraries, but most repositories will have additional sources.

The following archives, libraries, and societies have specialized collections or services helpful to American Indian genealogical researchers.

 * The Native America Collections preserve the history of Catholic evangelization of the Americas' aboriginal Indian peoples. This includes directories, genealogies, photos, and Saint Kateri Tekakwitha. Their Guides to Catholic-Related Records about Native Americans in the United States (and Canada) contain over 1,000 repository entries which provide contact information on the churches and repositories that hold these records, brief descriptions about records, and identification of the Native groups represented and the related Catholic organizations involved.
