At the end of September we posted an in-depth overview about a new collection of digitized Holocaust records from the National Archives (NARA) and Footnote. Our post said that at the end of October a sizable portion of the content would only be available to Footnote.com subscribers.

Today, an update. All of the material will remain free through December 31, 2009.

From an E-Mail:

…due to the popularity of this collection, we have decided to keep the records open free to the public through the rest of this year. This will enable more people to search and explore the original records from the National Archives. On January 1, 2010 these records will become part of the paid subscription on Footnote.com. These records, however, will remain free to access through any of the National Archives physical locations.
