Colorado Societies and Archives

It is wise to acquaint yourself with any Colorado repository which you might visit by writing to the appropriate Colorado archive or library in advance. Every Colorado repository has published materials that introduce its collections and research policy. Colorado State archives and Colorado historical agencies also have Internet sites that provide the same information. Some even have downloadable databases for some or parts of their collections.

Colorado Historical & Genealogical Societies

Submit a website link, report broken links for Colorado Historical & Genealogical Websites

For almost every state there is a state genealogical society, a state genealogical council, or both. In addition to their own work, state-level groups sometimes help coordinate the efforts of local societies within the state. Their publications, newsletters and quarterlies, supplement those produced by the local societies.
