Developing a Genealogy Collection: Some Initial Considerations
Abstract
Genealogy is thought to be the third most popular hobby in the United States today. Considering the recent impact of Roots, there is every indication it will remain so. A strong argument can be made that libraries should heed this interest and begin to develop genealogical collections. They should forget old prejudices, accept responsibility for this informational need, and begin an entirely new relationship with ancestor hunters and genealogists.
