Genealogy News Corral, Oct. 22-26
Posted by Diane
- The Chronicling
America free, searchable database of historic US
newspapers, has posted its 5 millionth newspaper page. Launched
by the Library of Congress and the National Endowment for the
Humanities in 2007 as part of the National Digital Newspaper
Program, the site digitizes newspapers published between 1836
and 1922. It now has more than 800 newspapers from 25 states.
- Old Weather, a
joint project from the National Archives and National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration, will have citizen
scientists transcribing historic Arctic and worldwide weather
data from digitized Navy, Coast Guard, and Revenue Cutter ship
deck logs. Digital images of the logbooks will be available on
the project's website and on Archives.gov. The
records offer access to weather data and climate patterns from
your ancestor's day, as well as details on US maritime history,
military operations and scientific exploration. Learn more about the project
and participate at OldWeather.org.
- A new volunteer genealogy lookup site called Gen Gathering has
announced it's looking for volunteers to do simple lookups for
others in their home libraries or nearby repositories or
cemeteries. You also can use the site to find volunteers who
might be able to do lookups for you. Learn more on the Gen
Gathering website.
