    Are you planning to do all the states? I must say that is a lot of research and work.

    Where did you find the links? Was it a search engine?

    I appreciate your efforts, that is really great.

    Yes, I will be doing all 50 states, plus the District of Columbia and US territories, and national-level archives (and not just THE National Archives). I have found the links from several sites that list many of them (do a Google search for archives plus the name of the state) as well as those I stumble across while looking for online historical directories and newspapers for my websites.

    Thanks for dropping by, Claudia!
