'''FamilySearch Indexing''' is a volunteer project established in 2006 and run by [[FamilySearch]]. The project aims to create searchable digital indexes for scanned images of [[FamilySearch Historical Record Collections|historical documents]]. | |||
The documents are drawn primarily from a collection of 2.4 million rolls of microfilm containing photographic images of historical documents from 110 countries and principalities. The documents include census records, [[Birth certificate|birth]] and [[Death certificate|death certificates]], [[Marriage license|marriage licenses]], military and property records, and other vital records maintained by local, state, and national governments. | |||
Those wishing to volunteer, can go to the "Indexing" section on the FamilySearch header and then click "Web Indexing" on the dropdown menu. When the page loads, indexing can be done by clicking the "Find Batches" button. Instruction for each record type will be given after a collection to index has been picked. The data submitted through these indexing projects is eventually made public and will be available at [[FamilySearch Centers]] or at the [[FamilySearch]] website for use in genealogical and family history research. | |||
