Idaho Archives, Historical
& Genealogical Societies
It is wise to acquaint yourself with any Idaho repository which you might visit by writing to the appropriate Idaho archive or library in advance. Every Idaho repository has published materials that introduce its collections and research policy. Idaho State archives and Idaho historical agencies also have Internet sites that provide the same information. Some even have downloadable databases for some or parts of their collections.
Two excellent resources for southeastern Idaho research are the Genealogical Library in the David O. McKay Resource Library at Ricks College in Rexford, Idaho; and the Idaho Falls Family History Center in Idaho Falls, Idaho. The latter has all the area mortuary records, cemetery records, and the “Post Register” obituary index (to 1955).

Idaho Historical & Genealogical Societies
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.
