To my remembrance, I believe the HQ PERSI is frozen in time, hence the archive. FMP has the updates. -- Elissa Elissa Scalise Powell, CG , CGL www.PowellGenealogy.com www.GRIPitt.org 28 June-3 July 2015 and 19-24 July 2015 in Pittsburgh, PA CG, Certified Genealogist, CGL, and Certified Genealogical Lecturer are service marks of the Board for Certification of Genealogists, used under license by board certificants after periodic evaluations.

The *HeritageQuest* interface is calling PERSI "PERSI Archive." I know that PERSI is now available on *FindMyPast*, but I wondered if the PERSI on *HQ* will remain an "archive" and not be updated? I haven't seen that said anywhere. Maybe it was always called "PERSI Archive" and I just didn't notice. Is there any difference in the index part of the FindMyPast version (I understand it will link to articles eventually) and the database on *HQ*? Thanks. Patti

This is how Heritage Quest describes its own PERSI database: "Periodical Source Index (PERSI) Archive (1800-2009), published by the Allen County Public Library, it contains more than 2.3 million records covering both English and French periodicals published around the world since 1800." It states that the entries end in 2009. http://www.proquest.com/products-services/HeritageQuest-Online.html Barbara
