We get it. Researching a topic, person, or quote can seem overwhelming. Check out WallBuilders’ How to Research articles for tips on how to start this process.

Does WallBuilders help with genealogy research?

While WallBuilders has a very large collection of historical books and documents, those resources do not include the type of records that are generally helpful for genealogical research. Generally, local libraries provide useful materials such as area newspapers or county records. Additionally, some states make census and other public records available online. You may want to begin with The Ancestor Hunt – a helpful website that provides how-to articles and dozens of resource links to point you in the right direction.

How can I find the value of something I own?

WallBuilders does not provide appraisal or valuation services. There are, however, other organizations that provide these services. Here are a few suggestions: ValueMyStuff or Find An Appraiser. You can also contact a local auction house near you or a larger auction house such as Christies.

How can I preserve my personal collection?

Preserving a collection of books or documents is important, especially if it includes family heirlooms or records you want to safeguard for future generations. There are some organizations that specialize in archival and which provide some helpful tips to protect your treasures. Here are just a few of these resources: NEDCC Book Conservation and Preservation, Library of Congress Preservation, and National Archives Preservation.
