More details of FHL digitizing projects released
FamilySearch.org has posted some of the presentation materials from the FGS 2005 conference. One presentation explains some of the projects that the LDS Church is performing.
1. The FamilySearch indexing project which will focus on indexing US, Canada, Pacific and South America vital records as well as British Parish Records.
2. The Scanstone microfilm scanning project which with new technology will have the entire collection of the FHL scanned within 6 years (estimated). The new technology provides for 370,000 films to be scanned each year rather than the 25,000 films which are scanned each year at the present time.

Hi Marina,
I just wanted to let you know I really like your blog and this post reminded me of what I'm up to, in a sense. I do intend to return often to see how your doing. I was wondering if you would pay a vist to my new blog called "StudentsOfDescent".
The purpose is mainly merging the use of Google Earth and Genealogy. I just posted a project that I'm working on called "Early PA Migration." I hope to generate alot of interest on this. If you find the time to visit, I'd love any feedback you might have on my blog or anything else. Thanks, Gary
