DPLA updates partner hub list

The Digital Public Library announces new member hubs.  Hubs operate at digital partners as  "spokes" of libraries and archives that feed into the hubs information about digital collections.  As an example, through the DPLA search engine using term "funeral records" there are 192 matches from different "spokes" of digital funeral records.  https://dp.la/search?q=funeral+records

For a list of new member hubs see https://pro.dp.la/hubs/dpla-member-hubs

In addition to the members list, DPLA has also created a page: The Family Research Guide to DPLA.  Included on this page are also collections links that are applicable to Family History Research.   https://dp.la/guides/the-family-research-guide-to-dpla 

The DPLA is a great resource to share with our customers who are looking for materials such as funeral records or other "name, date, place" sources.  It can also supplement that type of information with background images to help tell the full family story.
