ISGS Will Match Donations to War of 1812 Pension Digitization Projects
Posted by Diane
The Illinois State Genealogical Society (ISGS) has pledged to match
donations to the Federation of Genealogical Societies’ Preserve the
Pensions campaign up to $10,000.
Preserve the Pensions raises money to help digitize War of 1812
pension records, now on paper at the National Archives, and make
them free to access online. The archives has more than 180,000
pension files totaling 7.2 million pages.
You can see War of 1812
pension records that have already been digitzed on genealogy
website Fold3.com.
ISGS will match any contribution made to the Preserve the Pensions
project before Dec. 31, 2012, up to the first $10,000. For instance,
if you donate $100, the ISGS will match it for a total of $200.
In addition, Ancestry.com will also match all ISGS
contributions, which means any contribution you make will be
quadrupled: Your $100 contribution would become a $400 contribution.
A $10 contribution to Preserve the Pensions allows about 80 pages of
pension files to be digitized.
A total of $3.7 million is needed to digitize the entire collection.
You can donate via Paypal or by check. See the ISGS website
for details on making a contribution.
