New Features from Kindex.org

Kindex.org is a website that lets you gather, index, and share your records in a fully searchable Kindex archive. The basic idea is that you can scan and upload documents to a Kindex archive and then invite family members to aid in transcribing and indexing those records into a searchable database. You can also have a "private" archive that will allow you to invite access to only certain people.

Recent updates to the website include the following:

• View record progress at a glance
• Transcribe records back-to-back with “Save & Do Next” button
• Transcribe tables, forms, and other tabular text with table tools
• Download archive data as CSV file

A CSV file is a way to collect the data from any table so that it can be conveyed as input to another table-oriented application such as a relational database application. Microsoft Excel and other spreadsheet or relational database applications can read CSV files.

Kindex also organizes and digitizes records for all types of organizations, including families, churches, genealogical societies, historical entities, government organizations, educational institutions, and groups with private collections.

This is a very helpful and dynamic website. Here are some of the features:

When you sign up on Kindex, you can:

• Create your own free, private archive up to 50 records
• Add your own records or import FamilySearch Memories
• Access tools to store, transcribe, tag, search, and share, your records
• Reserve a custom subdomain
• Invite anyone* to “archive together” (invited users collaborate for free)

There is an annual subscription for archives with more than 50 records.
