GSMC Scanning Volunteers Needed

We are starting on a new collection that will need a significant scanning effort, 
and we could use your help. 
These materials will be of great value to Marion County family historians. 
Training is free and schedules are flexible. 
If you have a home scanner, we can work with that, too.
Contact librarian Ron Darrah at rdarrah@att.net. Thankyouverymuch.

Hail, Hail, Member Partners

GSMC, like most genealogy societies, can find some folks to be officers and worker-bees, 
but the most critical partners of any group are the members.  
At the beginning of our member year, we would like to salute our partners for 2022 and 2023.
We work hard to add and support Marion County databases, 
but we need paid members to keep our building open and our Marion County website up and running.
Below is our list of members from A to G. 
Won't you join all of us in creating as much Marion County genealogy data as we can. 
Hail, Hail!

Building Downtown; No State Archives

On Tuesday the Indianapolis Star had a big article about 
all the wonderful new construction happening in the downtown area. I looked very carefully, but I couldn't find any mention of our new State Archives. Did the reporter overlook that?
The money was appropriated several years ago; 
many of us in a workshop saw the building plans a year ago.
Every time I go down to the State Library or the Historical Society, I check out the postage-stamp lot where it's supposed to go, but no earth moving equipment anywhere. 
We seem to have a stupendous vanishing Archives. The public wonders...

Many Church Files Added In Last Quarter

We have been active in the scanning business during 2022. For instance, in the last three months, we have added 40 new church resources from several denominations. Many of these are original ledgers and documents with numerous handwritten updates and corrections. We still have several items to add to this collection, and we are always in the market for your next contribution!
