Bartlesville Public Library

Welcome to the world of Footnote! We are excited to announce the availability of this product to all BPL library patrons. The Local and Family History Library has recently subscribed to this online EBSCO product available remotely 24/7 by logging in with your library card number. It is available through the LFH Web page through a pre-established link on the left side of the page, or through the online databases link.

Footnote in many aspects mirrors the records of the National Archives and Records Administration in a more user-friendly format. Of particular interest to LFH patrons are the Native American Archives to be found next to the "Browse" button in the drop-down menu box. This includes the Dawes Packets, the Eastern Cherokee Applications, Guion Miller Rolls, Indian Census Rolls and Cherokee Indian Agency records. Also included in that box are Revolutionary War Archives, African-American Archives and World War II Archives. There is rich territory to explore throughout this product.

The scope of the product is very broad, and LFH staff are still exploring all of its many facets. "Browse" allows you to see an "All titles" list for other topics that may not be included in the archival drop-down menu in which you may be researching. Don't hesitate to ask staff for assistance, and ENJOY!
