RLG Announces ArchiveGrid
RLG (http://www.rlg.org), the not-for-profit membership organization of more than 150 research institutions, announced ArchiveGrid, its new historical archive Web site. The subscription service (free through May because of a foundation grant) lets users search descriptions of collections (of physical objects like letters, records, etc.) from hundreds of libraries, museums, and archives from around the world.ArchiveGrid is based on a former subscription-only product, RLG Archival Resources, but it's been completely revamped and expanded after extensive real-world testing. Historians, scholars, and genealogists all provided input into the new service. RLG said the new online service offers new and improved features for archival search methods that should appeal to a broad range of searchers, including those seeking primary source information on family and corporate histories, political papers, and historical records, from a worldwide database.
