Introducing the World Archives Project.
Fee-based genealogy data site Ancestry.com
<Ancestry.com
> is launching a volunteer indexing project that appears similar to FamilySearch's records indexing <www.familysearchindexing.org> effort.
Ancestry.com's World Archives Project will have volunteers indexing digitized records using an online tool. Ancestry.com
will publish the index free; the record images will become part of the site's subscription services.
