Research

If you are researching local history or genealogy, please visit our Newspapers page to find back issues covering the Easton area. We also have many books in our Historical Collection. And here in Easton, we are lucky to have a very rich historical resource, The Easton Historical Society and Museum.

For other research needs, the Ames Free Library offers over 60 different databases to help you find the information you need! No pay walls or pop-ups, just reliable information. Below, you will find our most frequently used databases. To see ALL of our databases as well as a category overview, visit our full database listing HERE

Are you working on a high school project? Our Teen Homepage will show you some really useful databases under the "Teen Homework Help" section. If you are an elementary or middle school student, our Kids Homepage lists databases designed just for you!

For tips on using these databases, you can access individual tutorials on the Gale Support site.
