This robust digital repository, underutilized by many genealogists, is packed with digitized publications from academic and research institutions that are relevant to your family history. This lecture walks you through HathiTrust’s discovery and access tools, showcases U.S. and international collections that are particularly relevant to genealogists, and demonstrates search strategies to help you find those valuable sources.

Syllabus
This is a fantastic presentation. HathiTrust is an amazing resource (admittedly sometimes a bit intimidating or hard to manage) which isn’t as widely known in the genealogy community as it should be. If you’re a serious researcher who believes in going beyond names and dates and learning about your ancestors’ lost worlds, you will love HathiTrust!
Great job of introducing library secrets to genealogists. Kudos to Colleen for sharing one of our librarian super-powers!
¡Fantastico! Gracias por las referencias Mexicanas.
2 discoveries!!! thanks – love the reading format of Hathitrust – plan to join legacy as soon as I go on holidays

I thought see did a really good job of explaining what is there and how to find it.
I visited HathiTrust for the first time last weekend, and I did my best to find records. I was amazed at all they have in there, but I wasn’t sure how to move around, and the best way to search. Many thanks to Colleen Robledo Greene for sharing how to find and document our findings on HathiTrust. Thank you.
