We're intensifying efforts this winter to get more of the Omaha area papers
indexed for obits & death notices. If you live in the Omaha area, and
would be interested in helping, whether for volunteer hours, or just to help the
genealogy community at large, let me know. Training will be provided. If you
only want to read the papers & extract the information, we have people who
will type. If you are only interested in typing, let me know that too. We’ll
be using the papers available at the W. Dale Clark library, and although any
year and any paper can be indexed, a special focus is being placed on the
ones with issues from 1900 through 1910, and 1940s.
A few, like the Catholic newspaper, are weeklies. We have a German
newspaper, so if any of you know enough German to recognize names & the fact that the
article is an obit, we need volunteers for that one as well (although we may
make a separate index for all names in the German papers & pull obits for
the obit index so they’ll be in both places, especially if we can get enough
volunteers to handle it.)
We’re looking at possibly putting out CD rom indexes in 5 year increments
(paper for the World Herald 1900 through 1909 only has already reached 49
pages, and we only have a couple years complete and all of the February evening
edition obits done, hence the split, and including as many papers as we have
access to for each time frame.) The CD roms will be made available for a
nominal fee when each five year period is finished. Funds over expenses will go
to purchase more materials for the genealogy department. (Silly folks, the
city council challenged Rivkah Sass the director to build a national class
genealogy library, but didn’t increase her library budget. Like it is going to
come with someone twinkling their nose???) Incomplete portions to the index
are available in notebooks in the book room at the library, and they will get
copies.
Some smaller genealogy libraries have all their newspapers indexed. It’s a
great help to people who don’t know when a relative died, where they were
buried, or any other information. It’s a way to give back as thanks for those
who have done work that have helped you find folks, or will help find folks,
when money isn’t exchanged. Working on this counts as volunteer hours for the
library, and the number of genealogy volunteer hours sends a definite message
to the folks upstairs that we definitely care about the collection. It can
count as volunteer hours for scouts and youth groups who need community
service as well.
Let me know if you can help, training is available.
