For some time I've known about this and it just dawned on me I should
be sharing this with members of all the lists I'm on!
Archive.orghttp://www.archive.org hosts public domain materials in
audio, video, image, and text format. I first became acquainted with
it for its holdings of free mp3s of Old Time Radio Shows, and old
music recordings from 1900-1920s. Later I discovered their holdings
of images of old books now in public domain. Most books can be
downloaded in PDF format to your computer, or you can embed them into
your own website.
I've found marriage records, lots of county biographicals, you name
it. Oh, and there are some family histories there, too. You might get
lucky! What's great is, most have OCR searches (image recognition) so
you can search for surnames once you arrive at the book image page.
Once at Archive.org site, you can search genealogy books by entering
something like "north carolina genealogy" [don't use the quotes
though] and in the pulldown list of Media Type, choose "Texts". You
can be more specific, such as entering the county, too. Some book
titles failed to mention state in the title and didn't come up when I
entered the state spelled out. Yet, when I used county name plus post
office state abbreviation in the search, the book title came up. Or
just enter county and state without word "genealogy." You have to
play around with this. Search terms depend on how keywords were
entered upon submission.
For ideas how you can incorporate Archive.org's books into your own
website, see what I'm currently working on: my Vintage Cookbooks
http://vintagecookbooks.healthyeatingandlifestyle.org site and my
Complete Loy History http://loyhistory.com/html/onlinebooks.html
website. (I still have a lot to do before all this is finished. I'll
probably change Loy page to have individual pages for each book, like
cookbooks site. It's slower loading with so many books on one page.)
Enjoy!
