Due to requests from various parts of the state, the Hayes Library is going
to expand the previous invitation to libraries to join its Obituary Index to
the entire state. On Oct. 29th, I sent a message to this list stating that
the coverage was only for Northern and Central Ohio, but we have decided to
include the entire state of Ohio. Deadline is soon approaching for the LSTA
minigrant.If interested, please contact me soon.
Thanks - sorry for the duplication. Here is the revised invitation.

Would you like to be part of an award-winning online obituary database? The
Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Library is applying for another LSTA
minigrant to expand its regional index obituariesto all of Ohio. Currently
24 public libraries are entering their obituary data into the web site -
remotely, from their libraries' computers.
NORWELD (Northwest Ohio Library District) sponsored 12 of those libraries in
2003 and this past spring, the Hayes Center was awarded an LSTA minigrant
which underwrote 7 more libraries, making this a truly regional
collaboration.(See list below of participating libraries). The web site
earned an award in 2003 for Technology Excellence from the New England
Historic Genealogical Society and gets over 700,000 hits a MONTH! It is a
great way to help genealogists and local historians find the people they are
searching for, bringing new researchers into your libraries and helping
people in other parts of the country find what you have.
Many libraries have existing card files of obituary indexes they would like
to computerize and put online or they would like to start indexing their
current newspapers. Why re-invent the wheel when you could simply tap into
our regional index? We now have almost 425,000 names indexed and the program
is being upgraded and improved by WGTE Public Broadcasting of Toledo to
handle its heavy usage.
The grant will pay 75% of the one-time fee charged for new libraries to add
to the database ($1500) and for one year's annual fee ($200). The
participating library's share would be $425. After the first year, your
library would have to commit to paying the $200 annual fee to maintain the
service. The initial fee allows the libraries to use the Hayes web-based
program, pays for the time it takes the Hayes staff to set up a library's
newspapers in the system and for the training of each library's staff. The
ongoing fee of $200 per year will help defray Hayes staff costs and web
storage.
Each library will be able to add their obituary information into the online
database which is free for the public to access on the web. If your library
is interested, contact Becky Hill (bhill@rbhayes.org
<mailto:bhill@rbhayes.org>) for further information. The application for the
grant is due soon, so we would need a commitment by Nov.19, 2004, so time is
of the essence. If approved, it would go into effect April 2004. We are
currently collecting names of Ohio libraries which would like to be
considered for this partnership and we will need to include Letters of
Support from each participating library. Check out the web site at
