Allen County, Indiana Public Library Helps Preserve Research

The Allen County Public Library in Ft. Wayne, Indiana offers a service for those

who have done many years of research but do not plan to publish a genealogy. Just

send your unbound “master copy” to the Historical Genealogy Department.

In exchange for the privilege of allowing them to make one copy for their collection,

they will make an additional copy for you FREE of charge and return it and the master

to you.

What a great way to preserve your work and make it available for other researchers

who otherwise would not be aware of it. In addition, you have no worries about it being

destroyed after you are gone.

To take advantage of this service, mail your unbound “master copy” to Steve Myers,

Assistant Manager, Historical Genealogy Dept., P.O. Box 2270, Fort Wayne, IN 46801-

2270. Include a note designating the work for the “Photocopy Exchange Program.”
