 TIP OF THE WEEK – HeinOnLine Wants to Give Back
 

Since it’s launch in 2000, HeinOnLine,  an internet database service by William S. Hein & Co., Inc., a Buffalo, NY publisher specializing in legal materials, has won award after award.  Now they just got a huge shout out from Judy G Russell, the Legal Genealogist.

William S. Hein & Co., Inc. describes their newly launched collection,  Slavery in America and the World: History, Culture & Law,   as “monumental, unique, (and) culturally significant,”. Judy concurs.  She calls it “fabulous”. This collection is all known legal materials on slavery in the United States and the English-speaking world.  And it’s free to everyone! You will need to register for access, but that’s a simple process.
