Editor's Review of Fold3

Everyone should subscribe to Fold3.com and I’ll tell you why. It’s not a genealogy site and it’s not a family tree site. It is a history site, and what a site it is. Fold3.com is a completely different way of researching your genealogical roots. When you visit Fold3.com, you get access to millions of scanned, original, historical documents that are just brimming with information. You can find out about a certain event in history or find out how your family fits into history through their online resources. Original documents are the way to make genealogy and history fun and interesting. When you become a member, you can join the forums and be a part of the community talking about history and discussing particular documents or events. It’s a truly unique website that deserves a second look.

A really fun website
By Judy on November 3, 2009

"My kids love looking at the old photographs, it’s perfect for getting them excited about history."

Better than any dusty old archive!
By Ellen on October 27, 2009

"It’s so nice to be able to look up all these documents from the 1700’s all the way to present day. What a great way to spend an afternoon, rather than in a dark dusty old archive room!"
