How can I help the Missouri Post-1910 Death Records Project achieve its goal of providing online access to this collection? Transcribing records from your home The Missouri State Archives sponsors a successful "e-volunteer" program in which volunteers, working from their home, index and transcribe historical records. With the help of “e-volunteers,” the Missouri State Archives plans to post online a database index of nearly two million death certificates from 1910 to 1954. This index will then be linked to a digital image of the death certificate.   Volunteers to this project will be provided photocopies of the death certificate index, transcription instructions, and a spreadsheet template to transcribe these records. A sample of the index to be transcribed is available for viewing in Adobe PDF format.  The index is arranged by year and alphabetically by surname within the year. Because of the size of the project the index has been divided into approximately 50 page sections for transcription.  If you are interested in participating in the Missouri Death Certificate Project, please send the following information to archvol@sos.mo.gov. • Your name • Postal address for mailing the photocopies of the index • Email address • Information on the spreadsheet application (MS Excel, MS Works, etc.) you will use.   Please note that the creation of this electronic index is the first phase of this project and required before the Missouri State Archives can begin the digitization of the death certificates. A date has not been set yet for the release of the database online.
