 In addition to history books, microfilm and
newspapers, many libraries also have resources such as maps and gazetteers
to help you locate information about Carroll County. They may also
have collections of previous research, such as family and local histories or
biographies not available elsewhere.
ILL -- A genealogist's Best Friend
 In my opinion, one of
the most overlooked and underused resources is Inter-Library Loan (ILL),
especially with everyone surfing the net and trying to find the info online.
If there is a book, magazine, microfilm/fiche, newspaper, etc. available, 10 to
1 you can get it via ILL. So, find out about it on the internet, but talk
to your librarian about getting it!

historical societies are in:
