Subject: Filson Club to go on-line.
Date: Tue, 8 Jun 1999 17:23:48 EDT

For those of you who do not have access to Louisville's Courier-Journal,
today's issue has an article that is guaranteed to excite the heart of every
genealogist that has ties to Kentucky! The article states that The Filson
Club Historical Society, along with the University of Chicago, will create a
web site that will contain several thousands of digitized images of books,
records and other documents of historical significance.

This project is being undertaken under funding of a $145,596 grant, and is
expected to take up to 18 months to complete. And this is just the
beginning! The project is titled, "The First American West: The Ohio River
Valley, 1750-1820." No URL has been published at this time, but I suppose it
would be accessed through their normal web address: www.filsonclub.org

I can hardly wait!
