Hello from the Indiana Biographies Project Team! We would like to announce the following changes to the Indiana Biographies Project: Because of the rapid growth of this project, it has become essential that we begin asking for volunteer County Coordinators! We have 92 counties in Indiana and we would like each one to be adopted right away! We have spent the last couple of days reorganizing the pages and putting together the tools needed to make it all work. There are many new parts of the project and we would like everyone to visit the Indiana Biographies Page again and hit "Reload". Take a look at what has been done and then ask for your favorite county! You don't have to know a lot about creating web pages, or using HTML to be a Biographies Project County Coordinator. We will help you get started with all that. We have sample pages available, project guidelines, and instructions for creating and posting biographies. What you do need to have is a love of our biographical history and the desire to be an active member of a very worthwhile project. If you would like more information about the project, or being a County Coordinator, or would simply like to volunteer, contact Dee Floyd-Pavey or Scott Satterthwaite.

Hi everyone! I have about 45 biographies to upload, and I hope to have them all on-line by tonight. I have decided to upload biographies on Saturdays. It will be much easier for me that way. Also, as for posting new biographies to the list; I wil post the subject name to the list only. Then, if there is anyone who doesn't have WWW access just let me know and I will forward a copy of that biography to you. I believe Scott, my assistant coordinator, has decided to update the index pages once a week also. (I'll let him tell you about that) Thanks everyone for all the help we're getting!

Hi everyone! I want to let everyone know that I now have an assistant coordinator for Indiana Biographies. Scott Satterthwaite has already been a tremendous help to this project! He has made, and will be doing the upkeep on an index that includes not only the Biography subject, but all other names listed as well! He has also offered to do data entry, and is making a clickable county map. Thanks for all your hard work Scott! And thanks to everyone who is giving their time for this project!
