Subject: call for articles: Computers for indexing
I am looking for articles for the Society of Indexers Genealogical Group
newsletter. I have only enough material for just over one issue, so I am in
sore need of articles to include. I should be grateful for any articles any
of you can write. Please contact me at this address of at millsc64@aol.com.
For those of you who are professional authors or indexers I have to mention
that contributions to the newsletter are voluntary and unpaid.
Regards, Colin Mills
Convenor & Editor, SIGG
Amersham
PS Follow-up, sorry to those who have already seen this.
PPS I also have some indexes to journals etc etc I need to have reviewed,
is anyone interested?

>I am sending this e-mail to ask for articles for publication in the SI
>Genealogical Group newsletter. One article that would be useful is on the
>choice of computers for indexing and transcribing. (Naturally, given the
>remit of SIGG, an emphasis on the needs of those indexing records or local
>history material, often amateurs, would be nice.)
>
>You may wish to discuss various problems such as
>* using 486 (or earlier) or Pentium computers
>* choice of software, and in particular
>& using DOS or Windows 3.1x programs, or
>& using programs compatible with Windows 95 or later,
>& using other operating systems such as Linux, and compatible
> programs;
>* keeping up with the pressure to upgrade.
>
>I should caution potential authors that I gather from feedback that readers
>can often find some articles over-technical, and advocate the publication of
>_basic_ articles on computers. Of course it is important in a newsletter
>such as ours to include a broad spread of topics, including articles on
>indexing and transcribing which are not specific to computers. Readers would
>welcome articles on genealogical projects as they come to hand; indexes
>which are available for public inspection; and on organisations which
>actually pay people to index genealogical or historical records.
>
>Previous suggestions from members submitted in previous years for possible
>articles include: one-name study indexes; indexing software and the
>advantages and disadvantages of databases for indexing; computers for
>indexing; tackling small-scale indexes; indexing for beginners; practical
>indexing issues and ideas for best practice; indexing of surnames and
>forenames, and name variants; the Soundex and Phonix coding systems; reviews
>of older indexes; indexing parish registers and census returns; news about
>indexes; indexes on the Internet; techniques for greater accuracy and
>efficiency.
>
>I should welcome articles by family historians and local historians about
>their own indexing needs and problems encountered or solved on projects,
>which will if possible be followed up with articles helping with these
>issues. One reader advocated a question and answer session.
>
>I should be grateful to be put in touch with anyone willing to monitor
>sections of the Internet for snippets on indexing and transcribing
>genealogical and (local-)historical material. I am aware that mailing lists
>and discussion threads tend to be somewhat informal. If anyone is willing to
>edit this material into a form which is suitable for publication in our
>newsletter, I should be most grateful. However if this is not possible I
>should be prepared to look at digests of material and edit it myself.
>
>If you propose to send large attachments, even attachments of any sort, I
>should appreciate it if you check with me first.
