American Genealogical Research at the DAR, Washington, D.C.

Plot

From the "This book had its beginnings in the late 1980s with proposals to write a guide to research in DAR collections. Unfortunately, many other projects had priority. With the celebration of the Centennial of the founding of the DAR Library in 1996, the composition of a guide to genealogical research at the DAR was a timely commemorative project. It was also long overdue. DAR had "hidden its light under a bushel" for far too long. American genealogists needed a clear understanding of the many family history treasures DAR owns and makes available for research. The first edition was published April 1997. There have been many changes and additions to the collections at DAR in the subsequent eight years. The need for a revision became apparent in the past few years. This second edition updates arrangements, procedures, and other important information relating to DAR collections and offices."
