    Has anyone had any experience using the Rhode Island Historical
    Society Library in Providence?  According to a description I read,
    they have most of the available RI records and and 12,000 volumes
    of various genealogies. They also supposedly have the Arnold collection
    which at the time it was donated (1920) was the best collection
    of Rhode Island genealogy material anywhere. The description I read
    (which might have been out of date) indicated that there was no
    charge to use the library, ie no membership fee or no visiting fee
    and that they did research by mail for a fee.
    
    Anyone have any experience with them?
    
    Thanks,
