    1. Digitized images of LDS Library collection online
    2. Dear WRG friends: This information came from another mailing list, I thought someone may find helpful... "LDS Family History Library has announced that it has begun the process of digitizing and making available on the Internet all of the Family History books in their collection.  About 5000 books have been digitized and are available, and they have announced that they are adding about 100 titles a week to the on-line collection. Copyright issues are playing a role in determining the order in which they progress through this task; books out of copyright are being done first." Go to the web site of the Harold B. Lee Library at BYU, http://www.lib.byu.edu/  then on the home page, from the list of collections that are displayed, follow the links: Find Other Materials; Electronic; On Line Collections at BYU; Text Collections tab; Family History Archive, Search I've tried it and it works, but remember that a whole lot of what is available is privately done family histories, so the quality will vary. I followed one link to a Whitney chapter in one of them and got the "romance" of Turstin the Fleming who came with the Conqueror, followed by John and Elinor, and then Eli Whitney, all nicely written up. I stopped, for lack of continuity and lack of documentation. The next one may be wonderful, maybe. Allan E. Green
