About The Free Digital Library.

Think of it as an OnLine catalog of thousands of books that are available FREE for you to use in your research.

Over the past few years Google and others have placed thousands of volumes on line, but they not provided a system to allow you to easily find and utilize the material. Our intent is to change that by:

Providing a logical hierarchical catalog of available materials

Linking to the "best" copy of each book on line

Providing the book in all of the needed formats - KINDLE, PDF, MOBI, EPUB, DJVU, HTML, XML, TXT, DOC - whatever evolves over time.

Providing useful summaries, book reviews, indexes, etc. to make research easier

Provide a forum for discussion of research materials

Clean up the "mess" left by the scanning and OCRing of the various books

The volumes are organized by state plus the following sub-catagories: Civil War
Biography
Local History
Cemetery Records
Census Records
Church History
Immigration
Land Grants
Maps
Marriage Records
Obituary
Pensions
