The Historical Society of Pennsylvania (HSP), one of the largest and most comprehensive genealogical centers in the nation, and FamilySearch, a nonprofit family history and records preservation organization, are collaborating to share the stories of more than 300 years of American history with researchers across the country and around the world.

Work to digitally preserve and publish HSP’s genealogies and local histories, family trees, its card catalog, and more has been underway since 2014. Several thousand records are now freely accessible at FamilySearch.org, with more to follow in the coming months. Please see below for more information about each component of the collaboration between HSP and FamilySearch.
