Searchable records, data collection challenge federal agencies - FierceContentManagement he National Archives and Records Administration will publicly release all records from the 1940 census on April 2--closing a major record digitization and management project for the agency. The records will be available for free at 1940census.archives.gov, but from a searchability standpoint, citizens will likely have more luck accessing information elsewhere. According to a National Archives FAQs page<http://www.archives.gov/research/census/1940/faqs.html>, census data will only be sorted by enumeration district citizens lived in at the time of the survey. Ancestry.com and FamilySearch have both announced plans to index the census data after it opens, however. http://bit.ly/AaFGu0 Source: http://www.fiercecontentmanagement.com/story/searchable-records-data-collection-challenge-federal-agencies/2012-03-02 See if people are clicking on this link: http://bit.ly/AaFGu0+ Try the bitly.com sidebar to see who is talking about a page on the web: http://bitly.com/pages/sidebar -- Peter Kurilecz CRM CA [log in to unmask] Richmond, Va http://twitter.com/RAINbyte http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RAINbyte/ http://paper.li/RAINbyte/rainbyte http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/archives/ http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/records-management/ Information not relevant for my reply has been deleted to reduce the electronic footprint and to save the sanity of digest subscribers List archives at http://lists.ufl.edu/archives/recmgmt-l.html Contact [log in to unmask] for assistance To unsubscribe from this list, click the below link.
