Subject: [PLY/MA] Brockton VRs Proofreaders Needed
Date: Sun, 21 Jul 2002 22:33:58 -0400

One of my ongoing projects is the conversion of public-domain vital
records volumes into web pages. Now that Brockton has a USGenWeb page I'd
like to put online what I've completed (about 25%) of "Vital Records of
Brockton, Massachusetts, to the Year 1850." What I've completed covers
mainly the Edson, Packard, Perkins and Washburn families.

Before these pages go "public" I'd like to have a few folks proofread
them. I have split the work into seperate sections for births, marriages
and deaths for those who are willing to work on part of the project.
Images of the pages (in GIF format for viewing with a browser) are
available so proofreaders won't need the book or CD, and both images and
HTML are packaged in ZIP files for downloading and offline proofreading.
I hope to finish scanning and converting the rest of the volume over the
next few months.

If you would like to help with the proofreading please let me know. I
will, of course, acknowledge all volunteers prominently on the top page
of the VRs.
