Family History is doing great work with AI, not just the example Jon showed today. We are automating indexing in many languages, not just OCRing the content but having it recognize entities (surname, DOB). After limited human curation, it is available for patron use.

Just as a genealogist's work is never done, the field of genealogy has not reached its fullest potential until people in every country around the world can easily pursue their family history. #Genealogy #familyhistory

Our public history PhD candidate Michael McCormick had some of his residency work highlighted @washingtonpost today. Some are saying the Maryland vital records now online are a 🎄🎁 for historians.
Our stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in the hopes that the Washington Post and its long-awaited article about our work with @EnduringLegacy to get millions of Maryland records online for free for the first time would soon be there

Hey friends, we have some reporters who are working on news stories about our "Maryland Motherlode" project.
If these newly-freed Maryland records have helped you in your research (or you think they will, once you sort through the data), plz tweet about it, tag us, and we'll RT!

Thanks for your story. For a few years as a teenager I’d go to MSA with my mom and she was my enthusiastic research assistant (who still cheers me on). We’d go again frequently between my college or mission years. These were highlights of my youth, we found a lot. I moved away.

Congratulations to public history doctoral student Michael McCormick on his recent election to the board of the Association of Professional Genealogists @APGgenealogy.

DONE! It will now go to the Governor's office for signature and--on July 1, 2024--Minnesota will become the 15th state in the US to affirm or restore the right of adult adoptees to obtain copies of their own original birth certificates. Winning!

At the Internet Archive, this is how we digitize a book.
We never destroy a book by cutting off its binding.
Instead, we digitize it the hard way--one page at a time.
