Collector Resources
Interesting Links
We think you will find these sites interesting and helpful. We have compiled links to those that we think will be of interest or help historical autograph collectors—sites of collector organizations, research resources, and government and private organizations with ties to history. Please bookmark this page and use it for easy access to them.
We are always glad to consider suggested additions, so contact us to suggest other sites to include in these listings. Please note, however, that although some of the sites in these lists may contain some advertising, we have uniformly declined to include commercial websites that seem to be aimed more at advertising than history, especially those in which the historical information is unrelated to the commercial nature of the site.
Each website link opens in a separate window. We strive to keep these links current, but if you find that one is broken, please click here and report it to us so that we can update the link.
History In Ink has compiled these links for your convenience and enjoyment but neither endorses nor assumes responsibility for the content of the sites.
