The Homeland Security Digital Library provides quick access to important U.S. policy documents, presidential directives, and national strategy documents as well as specialized resources such as theses and reports from various universities, organizations and local and state agencies.

HeritageQuest Online is a comprehensive treasury of American genealogical sources -- rich in unique primary sources, local and family histories, and finding aids. The collection consists of six core data sets: U.S. Federal Censuses, Genealogy and Local History Books, Periodical Source Index (PERSI), Revolutionary War Records, Freedman's Bank Records, and the Lexis Nexis U.S. Serial Set. Due to licensing agreements, the U.S. Serial Set is not available to academic libraries, so will not be searchable from our link. Milwaukee city directors from 1861-1960 are also available online.
