What is the difference between Ancestry.com and Ancestry Library Edition?

Ancestry Library Edition was available remotely through December 2021.  Temporarily, as an answer to closures due to COVID, ProQuest turned on the remote access so KYVL members could use Ancestry Library Edition away from their library's physical locations.  

If you need the correct URL for your website, email KYVL@ky.gov.  

For KYVL member libraries with individual subscriptions to Ancestry Library Edition, ProQuest will issue credits for unused portions of existing, direct subscriptions to be used for the purchase or renewal of any other ProQuest product.
