Largest Genealogical Collections

This was originally going to be a top ten list, but due to the possibility of stepping on someone's copyright, it is just a list of the largest collections; more than ten, and in alphabetical order. This is a combination of lists, by

Carole Callard, genealogy specialist at the Library of Michigan

Bill Dollarhide, publisher and author of "America's Best Genealogy Resource Centers"

Suzanne Guinn, genealogist & library student who originally asked me, "well where are the other   nine?"

Dereka Smith, librarian at the National Genealogical Society;

James Swan, director, Central Kansas Library System and author of "The Librarian's Guide to   Genealogical Research"

me.

If you know of other large genealogy collections (state or Society), send me your opinion and I'll probably put it on this page. Thanks Suzanne for supplying many of the contact e-mail addresses and URL's.
