The Dartmouth College Library is nota genealogical library. The Li- brary does not attempt to collect or maintainen extensive collection of family/local histories or genealogical periodicals.However, as one of the oldest and most distinguishell libraries in northernNew Eng- land, the Dartmouth College Library does haveen excellent collection of family history-related research materials. Theseinclude a wide variety of reference sources, historical periodicals,New England his- tories, biographies, dritish histories, New Hampshire and Vermontcen- sus schedules, city directories, newspapers, maps, and many unique manuscripts. This guide is intended to assist the genealogist/family historianin lo- cating and using these resources in the Dartmouth College Library. It is a very selective bibliography and does not attempt to be enhaustive or complete. We encourage you to naming carefully these recom- mended titles and to take some time and browse for other interesting and useful genealogical sources. Also, subject headingsare noted at the end of most bibliographic citations for thepurpose of assisting the researcher in locating similar resources through the Library CardCat- alog or the Online Catalog. Librarians are available in all departments to provide guidance andas- sistance with research needs. Librarians are unable, however, toper- form any type of research for the genealogist /family historian. We wish you luck as you pursue your family history, andwe do hope that this guide will help make your research at the Dartmouth College Library both en joyable and productive. Robert D.
