World Archives Project

This week brings us two very different projects – Belfast, Northern Ireland, The Belfast Newsletter, 1738-1925 and U.S., Military Registers, 1862-1970 (Part 5).

The Belfast, Northern Ireland, The Belfast Newsletter, 1738-1925 project contains images of the newspaper for close to a 200 year period.  We will be keying birth, marriage and death records – these could be from birth, engagement, marriage, and death announcements, obituaries or memoriams.  Since it is a newspaper the records are typed and are easy to read.  Questions and feedback regarding this project can be posted to the Discussion page.

And the U.S., Military Registers, 1862-1970 (Part 5) records will be similar to past Military Registers projects – Part 5 is specific to Navy personnel stationed in Oregon. These records are also typed and often the records are very name dense so an image set contains only 2 images.  Questions and feedback regarding this project can be posted to the Discussion page.

Happy keying!
