Scottish Indexes seeks volunteers this weekend for indexing project

From Scottish Indexes (www.scottishindexes.com), news of a crowdsourcing indexing project this weekend if you fancy getting stuck in!

24/25 October 2020 Volunteer Project

Stuck at home this weekend and love family history?

If you are looking for something rewarding and interesting to do this weekend you may be interested in our weekend volunteer project.

We want to index more prison registers and right now we are working on Barlinnie, a large prison in Glasgow. The index that is created will then be put online for everyone to access for free.

This is a perfect project if you’ve not done indexing before or have limited time. It’s a collaborative project and there will be support all weekend from experienced volunteers.

Simply message us for more information.

You can contact the organisers through their Facebook page at www.facebook.com/scottish.indexes/
