[OPLINLIST] Obituary Indexes

[Elizabeth Glasgow]

Ours were indexed some time ago in print only, and we are in the process of indexing current obits and re-indexing old obits for our website:
http://www.wtcpl.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=35:obituary-index&catid=9#.UQGV9fLkojk
The indexing is to the citations, we do not scan the obituaries themselves.  At this time we are not interested in indexing for larger organizations or commercial sites.

We may sit in our library and yet be in all the corners of the earth.

How does your library handle obituary indexes?

Do you create your own database of obituaries?

What fields of information are stored in your database?

I would like to know what other libraries are doing.

Do you outsource your data?

Do you use one of the commercial databases available?


Thanks,

Morgan
