Dick Eastman’s blog recently announced that Google has registered a few URLs of interest to genealogists. They registered:
- GoogleMicrofilm.com
- GoogleMicrofilm.net
- GoogleMicrofilm.org
- GoogleMicrofilm.info
Why register a name like this unless something were in the planning stages?
Recently, the Family History Library announced that they will be digitizing their microfilm collection (over 2 million rolls) and publishing it to the Internet. It will take over 6 years to complete the digitization project. Volunteers will index the microfilm via a project explained at www.familysearchindexing.org.
Isn’t technology amazing?
I don’t see any problem with Google putting the Family History Library online unless they charge for access, infact it probably will make this information more accessable.
