Subject:Want to transcribe MO death indexes? Snipped from another mail list - please pass on to your friends interested in Missouri! Beth Missouri Post-1910 Death Records Project http://www.sos.mo.gov/archives/resources/birthdeath/deathFAQ.asp 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. 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 a.. Your name and email address b.. Postal address for mailing the photocopies of the index c.. 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.
