>"We, "The USGenWeb Project Advisory Board", want to remind >all persons involved with "The USGenWeb Project" that all >original records that are transcribed and submitted to any >special project whether it be "The USGenWeb Archives >Project", "The USGenWeb Census Project", "The USGenWeb >Tombstone Project" or any other special project are a part >of The USGenWeb Project's "digital library" known as "The >USGenWeb Project Archives". Patrons who submit data to "The >USGenWeb Project Archives" through any of its special >projects should feel confident and be aware that no matter >what >directory the data that they have submitted may reside, it >is and shall remain a part of "The USGenWeb Project >Archives". Patrons should also be aware that the directory >locations of any data submitted may change from time to time >within "The USGenWeb Project Archives" for organizational >purposes. > >The Board strongly recommends that the special project named >in the bylaws as "The USGenWeb Archives Project" leave the >job of transcribing original US Census records and >recruiting volunteers for the same purpose to the special >project named in the bylaws as "The USGenWeb Census Project" >and that "The USGenWeb Archives Project" should otherwise >direct their efforts to transcribing the other vast volumes >of original records that need to be transcribed in this >country. "The USGenWeb Census Project" should continue >to notify the file managers of "The USGenWeb Archives >Project" when new transcriptions are completed so that these >files may be included with original scanned images or other >county file structures as may have been established or >deemed necessary. > >The USGenWeb Project Advisory Board
