Databases for Finding Archives
Allows in-depth searches of archives managed by
the Yale University Library.
Archival Resources consists of collection records
and collection guides. Collection records describe (in a general
way) collections or specific portions of collections of primary source
material. Collection guides (or finding aids) are detailed inventories
that reveal where a collection came from, how it is arranged, and what
it contains. Both the catalog records and detailed collection guides may
provide links to digitized archival materials themselves.
Researchers can search descriptions of manuscript
collections in the United States, link to information about the repositories,
and locate the finding aids in NIDS, a microfiche collection in the Microtext
Center of SML.
