REMINDER: SGS CIG shows "Digital Toys for Genealogy" on 10 Nov 2001 The November 2001 meeting of the Computer Interest Group of the Seattle Genealogical Society offers you gift ideas in time for the coming Holiday Season. Specifically, our members will share their experiences, good and bad, with digital products that can be used to aid your genealogical research. We are planning to have three different digital cameras and examples of some genealogical applications for them. There will be a demonstration of the use of a digital video camera for genealogy. There will be two different scanning tools presented: (1) a pen scanner and (2) a flatbed scanner adapted to scanning microfilm, like census images. Remember our Genealogy Search booth last July at the Heritage Festival in Marymoor Park? Come and see how pictures from a digital camera and a neat software product have been combined to create a three-dimensional digital photo album of our booth. In April 2002 we will show you how to use this software to create your own digital photo albums on a CD. You are invited to bring your own "digital toys" to share with us. Please respond to this message with your idea so that we can plan the program more effectively. As time permits we will share announcements, questions and answers, and successes and failures with each other on topics brought by members. MEETING LOCATION at SGS OFFICE and LIBRARY!!! We will meet Saturday, November 10th, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the new office and library of the Seattle Genealogical Society.
