Learn ancestry on the Internet at library

Sunday, October 25, 2009

Introduction to Ancestry.com will be Oct. 31 from 10 to 11 a.m. at the Ben May Main Library Technology

Center.

The library is located at 701 Government St.

Call 251-208-7093 for more information and to make reservations.

Ancestry.com expands partnership with the National Archives and Records Administration: Ancestry.com has announced an expansion to its relationship with NARA that enables the company to digitize its record collections at a new Ancestry.com facility in the Washington, D.C., area.

The new facility will help bring millions of new NARA documents online for the first time.

Ancestry.com currently has the largest online collection of digitized and indexed NARA content, including the complete U.S. Federal Census Collection, 1790-1930, passenger lists from 1820-1960 and WWI and WWII draft registration cards.

Since the signing of an agreement in May 2008, Ancestry.com has been working with NARA to digitize historical records collections on-location at NARA's archive in Maryland. This is the first time NARA has partnered with a commercial entity to have documents scanned off-site.

The new scanning facility will allow Ancestry.com to digitize more than five times the records than it could at the NARA archive, with the capacity to scan at least 5 million documents, many still in paper form each year.

To celebrate this growing relations with NARA, Ancestry.com has launched two collections that were a part of the May 2008 partnership announcement: Reports of Deaths of American Citizens Abroad, 1963-1974, which have not been available to the public outside of NARA research rooms and Honolulu Passenger Lists, 1900-1953, which have not been available online until now.
