[Genealib] Indexing Projects

[Tracy Luscombe]

Our volunteers completed a project many years in the making of indexing
the obituaries in the McKinney newspapers from 1884 forward. We have
these in print by decade. They were typed in Excel. Last year we were
able to convert them to pdf documents and now have them on our web site.
I receive about 30 obituary requests per month by email since we put
these on line.

All,

Interested to know how many Libraries and/or societies are currently
undertaking indexing projects? If so, why? What software/tools are you
using? Hosting on the web, in-house only, published? My thanks in
advance.
