Historians, genealogists, lawyers, demographers, filmmakers, and others conduct research at archives.[4] The research process at each archive is unique, and depends upon the institution in which the archive is housed. While there are many different kinds of archives, the most recent census of archivists in the United States identified five major types: academic, for profit (business), government, non profit, and other.[5]
