You may have noticed a new link under the Research & Learn tab on our website: Fold 3.
Distributed by ProQuest, Fold3 Library Edition by Ancestry provides convenient access to a growing collection of US military records, including the stories, photos, and personal documents of the men and women who served from the Revolutionary War onward. It contains millions of records from world-class archives, many of which are exclusively available on Fold3.
Fold3 supplements the records available in the Ancestry Library Edition database (available for in-house use only). You can use Fold3 from anywhere, all you need is your Pinellas Public Library Cooperative library card.
The Fold3 name comes from a traditional flag folding ceremony in which the third fold is made in honor and remembrance of veterans who served in defense of their country and to maintain peace throughout the world.
