New Website Content

We're still hard at work preparing more content for www.lowelldeeds.com. There's an extensive "frequently asked questions" section that should go online tomorrow as well as a number of documents that discuss our methods of indexing documents. Indexing is a constant challenge since the names that appear on documents have so many variations. Still, we must strive for uniformity in how we enter those names into our computer system. Besides the Massachusetts Deed Indexing Standards, we'll have some supplemental material that shows exactly how various names should be indexed in Lowell as well as two presentations that I have given to different groups on indexing. As always, we welcome your suggestions.
