[OPLINLIST] Database of the Month: African American Heritage

[Mandy Knapp]

Hello all,

I hope you're having great day today. This February let's take a look at
African American Heritage  ( <http://ohioweblibrary.org/db/kidsinfobits>
http://ohioweblibrary.org/db/africanamericanheritage ).

*African American Heritage* is a digital resource exclusively devoted to
African American family history research. This collection was created in
partnership with leading African American genealogists and recognized
leaders in genealogical information to develop a comprehensive mix of
resources, records, and tools specifically pertaining to African Americans.
It provides users a dedicated, user-friendly resource that not only brings
together records critical to African American family research, but also
connects them to a community of research experts, whose mentoring and
assistance can frequently be the difference between research success and
futility.
