ProQuest Launches New Genealogy Resource For Libraries
From the announcement, “The new product combines primary source materials from the UMI Genealogy & Local History Online product and multiple rich resources originating from genealogy publisher Heritage Quest (acquired by ProQuest last summer).” “In the first release of this product (now available), complete census data from 1790, 1800, 1810, and 1870 is fully indexed and viewable in full page image. In addition, 1840 census data is fully browsable by locality (with name indexing to be added shortly). Also available are 16,000 family and local histories; 8,000 additional titles will be added. Remaining census images for census years from 1790 to 1930 are scheduled for loading later this year.”
