Introducing Europeana

NEWS

Just in case you hadn't heard of the organisation, Europeana is worth keeping an eye on.  Essentially it's a website which enables people to explore the digital resources of Europe's museums, libraries, archives and audio-visual collections.  It's only been on the go since 2008, but its latest blog entry gives an indication of how its importance is likely to grow in the future.

I should think all of you will want to have a glance at the latest news release from FindMyPast, which details the appearance of over 9,000,000 new records on their website - all from the Society of Genealogists' considerable vaults.

And Parish Chest's latest 'new products' page (just updated) can be found here.  Always worth a browse - and I see that they claim that Your Family History Magazine has a special offer for new subscribers of a free book worth £20 (yet, as I write, I can't find mention of this on the mag's website).
