I move that the following statement be issued to as many mailing lists as
possible. and that the first paragraph be immediatly posted to the USGenWeb
Project web page concerning the special projects.
"We, "The USGenWeb Project Advisory Board", want to remind all persons
involved with "The USGenWeb Project" that all original records that are
transcribed and submitted to any special project whether it be "The
USGenWeb Archives Project", "The USGenWeb Census Project", "The USGenWeb
Tombstone Project" or any other special project are a part of The USGenWeb
Project's "digital library" known as "The USGenWeb Project Archives".
Patrons who submit data to "The USGenWeb Project Archives" through any of
its special projects should feel confident and be aware that no matter what
directory the data that they have submitted may reside, it is and shall
remain a part of "The USGenWeb Project Archives". Patrons should also be
aware that the directory locations of any data submitted may change from
time to time within "The USGenWeb Project Archives" for organizational
purposes.
The Board strongly recommends that the special project named in the bylaws
as "The USGenWeb Archives Project" leave the job of transcribing original
US Census records and recruiting volunteers for the same purpose to the
special project named in the bylaws as "The USGenWeb Census Project" and
that "The USGenWeb Archives Project" should otherwise direct their efforts
to transcribing the other vast volumes of original records that need to be
transcribed in this country. "The USGenWeb Census Project" should continue
to notify the file managers of "The USGenWeb Archives Project" when new
transcriptions are completed so that these files may be included with
original scanned images or other county file structures as may have been
established or deemed neccessary.
