And it said what?

Folks who do serious research want to look at the original document. They don't want to read bits and pieces in an article about the document. They want to read the original work. How do they find where the primary source might be?

"ArchivesUSA® is a current directory of 5,596 repositories and 154,678 collections of primary source material across the United States. Using ArchivesUSA®, researchers are able to read descriptions of a repository's holdings to determine whether a collection contains material useful to their work as well as find the information they need to contact the repository directly.
Repository records provide detailed information including phone and fax numbers, hours of service, materials solicited, email and home page URLs when available. Each collection record links to its corresponding repository record, simplifying the research process.
ArchivesUSA® integrates the following information into comprehensive collection records:
The entire collection of NUCMC from 1959 to the present. The National Union Catalog of Manuscript Collections (NUCMC) includes information gathered and indexed by the Library of Congress, covering more than 103,000 collections. Only ArchivesUSA® makes all of NUCMC fully searchable in electronic form.

Collection descriptions submitted directly to us from repositories.
A growing number of more than 5,000 links to online finding aids.
