One month ago today the 1940 US Census went live. Wow, what a wild ride it has been! What an amazing job everyone is doing with the 1940 US Census Community Project as well!I hope many of you have been enjoying the images, indexing, arbitrating, learning, researching, and are hungry for more. Just as a reminder, the 1940 US Census Project is still going strong. New indexers are still signing up and there is a lot to do. The more the merrier! If you have been indexing, remember there is a critical need for arbitrators. The indexes won’t be out until they are all arbitrated.
Not sure what indexing and arbitrating are? Not a problem. Check out a few of the links below to help get you started, or to brush up on those skills. I would go first to the Resources Page at the community project website. Not sure what to look at? Here are a few of my favorite ones:
Training Webinars from the Census Project- There is one today!!!
Are you all jazzed up and ready to go strong? Great! Now don't forget that there are weekly prizes over at the community site.
