Re: Manuscript collection sources
Try searching their name on the internet. I use Google and get lots of hits
on historic (not to mention current) people I wouldn't have expected to find
there. It may not lead directly to a manuscript collection, but often leads
to other sources of information.

Subject: Manuscript collection sources
I receive a lot of requests to locate manuscript collections for a wide
range of individuals. Depending on what is known about the individual, I
usually start the search with the following:
1. NUCMC RLIN AMC file
2. Archives USA
3. American National Biography (multi volume set)
4.Biographical Directory of the United States Congress
Are there other major sources that I should be consulting? Many of the
individuals were active in the health industry. Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
