The core of the book contains profiles of 175 institutions, covering a broad cross-section of public libraries, academic libraries, historical societies, museums and governmental agencies. Each profile includes the basics: contact information, directions, URLs and email addresses, costs, accessibility, and subject specialties. In many cases, Bunker actually visited the institution in question; so when she offers recommendations of where to eat lunch, spend the night, or park, she speaks with the voice of experience! In addition, Bunker takes great care to offer invaluable advice about the nature of archival research, what to take with you, and what to expect when you get there."--BOOK JACKET.
