25 million digitized and searchable free books are at your fingertips. Learn how to make the most of this goldmine chock full of historical data! You’ll discover the best techniques for finding fully digitized books fast, and search secrets for locating genealogical data. Learn to capitalize on and translate the foreign-language volumes from your ancestor's homeland. Then we’ll go beyond the obvious and track down maps, images, photos, and more.
