Time to update your bookmarks/favorites, folks. The Western History and Genealogy Department at Denver Public Library has a new address, a new look and new content for their Web pages.

Beginning with the home page, there is a changing gallery of historic photographs from the Department’s highly regarded Digital Image Collection. You’ll find links to the major categories of resources, plus news about the latest exhibits, classes, and seminars.

Links to databases have been consolidated, with a comprehensive list of all available databases on the Research Tools: A to Z page. This page lists not only Colorado and other Western resources, but many of the subscription databases available through Denver Public Library (many available from home, some available free in the library).

Spend some time exploring the updated site - you are bound to find at least one new resource for your genealogical research.

If you’d like to compare the new pages with the old, try these three links (as captured by the Internet Archive Wayback Machine in February and May 2006).
