Bookscanned is no more

Posted by stuporglue on Mar 18, 2010 in Genealogy

Thank you for coming to look for Bookscanned. While I still firmly believe in the concept behind bookscanned (scanning genealogy materials and making them available online with OCR software) I am not in the position to dedicate the time needed to make it work well. I am confident that as OCR software becomes easier, storage cheaper and genealogist more computer savvy something like Bookscanned will come along from someone who can dedicate the resources needed to do it right. Thanks again, and good luck in your genealogy searches!
