Alice, I am more than happy to help with this project. Elaine Powell Researching ARBUCKLE, HOBDY/HOBDAY & WARREN in Butler and Ohio County In a message dated 1/27/2007 4:05:09 PM Eastern Standard Time, [email protected] writes: To KYGEN and KYBUTLER lists: For the Butler County KYGenweb I am scanning back issues of the Green River Republican (hopefully also the Banner). I am starting with the scattered issues from 1888 as microfilmed by the University of Kentucky. I do not have the time to transcribe and index the papers as I scan them and am seeking volunteers to help me with this project. I am also awaiting a reply to a letter sent to the paper in Morgantown to see if I may put the more recent issues (after 1923) online as well. There are many issues that are available before the copyright deadlines however, so I am looking for indexing and transcribing help. Indexing will consist of listing every name mentioned on each page, including in advertisements. National political figures may be left off the index, although the goal is to completely transcribe the articles, at which time the political figures would be mentioned. Transcribing is writing word for word what is in each article. My scans are pdfs right now, although since I have Acrobat Pro I can save them from pdf to whatever image format is most widely desired. Again, I'm looking for volunteers to help transcribe and make it possible for these issues to then be searchable, as well as announcing that I am doing this. I have the images from the first four issues scanned, and more will follow over the coming days as time permits. Alice Warner Butler County KYGenweb
