Archival Services, Libraries, Societies
Please Remember:
These facilities have current business they must attend to. They will try to help you but they do not have the time,
or staff, to do extensive searches. The following tips will help you. When writing to any facility for information keep
requests limited to 1 or 2 items, and provide exact dates. Keep request specific and to the point. Lengthy letters on
your family history will be overlooked or discarded. Due to the rising cost of postage many facilities require a long,
self-addressed stamped envelope (S.A.S.E.) for a reply. Once again, it is best to write first to inquire about current
copy fees.
PLEASE LET EACH FACILITY KNOW YOU HAVE ALREADY CONTACTED SUMMIT COUNTY
CHAPTER, OGS - This will prevent them from forwarding your letter back to OGS.
