With group (publishing), unless you can get together at “the drop of a hat”, your group may find itself in need of a way to share files over the internet. The easiest way to do that is pick a format you all use and send email attachments. However, many people prefer to add another layer of anti-virus protection to this. Rather than basically computer to computer (email), computer to third party area where it can be scanned before downloading into computer. Basic needs can be fulfilled by having an electronic group online, like through Yahoo or Google. However, if more space is needed, here are a few suggestions:
-
www.box.net – free or paid services
-
www.drop.io – this is great because you can set the files to expire when they are loaded. When they expire, they are deleted from the internet.
-
Microsoft SharePoint – Robust paid service

Add to your printed book for pennies
Regardless of your final disk/internet format and file type, E-books are now being marketed as not only a stand alone body of work, but also published in conjunction with a printed and bound (paper) book as a further service to the reader/buyer.

Have your tried www.clusty.com yet? It started life as vivisimo – it “pre-sorts” your results by topic. No more wading Miami, Florida results when looking for Miami, Oklahoma or Ohio!

The Registry of War Ration Books, including 83 Canadian books can be found at the link below. For those of you not familiar with food rationing, during World War Two the government issued ration stamps in books to each family member. There were four series of books, and there was a
complicated maze of instructions (typically published in the newspaper) as to which stamps were valid at any given time.
Prior to this project at Genealogy Today, the largest known private collection of ration books was a 900-book collection housed in Colorado. The registry was approaching 5,000 books (early October 2007), and is expected to double again in 2008. In addition to the books being collected,
contributions from visitors to the web site are helping expand the database and ensure these interesting genealogical documents get properly archived.
To view the images, visit this page and search for surnames:

Two UK Newspapers Now Available Online
The “Guardian,” a famous UK newspaper, and the “Observer,” the world’s
first Sunday newspaper, are going digital.
So far, issues of the “Guardian” from 1821-1975 and the “Observer”
from 1900-1975 are available. In early 2008, both of the newspapers
will be online in their entirety (from 1821 for the former and 1791
for the latter). Both newspapers are searchable. Searching is free,
but you must buy a timed access pass to view entire articles.
Visit the “Guardian” website for more information:

Don’t forget as fuel prices rise and we turn to our computers more and more, to document. Sometimes there is no substitute for a research trip. Sometimes volunteers, such as the network at http://www.usgenweb.org can help.
