Ancestry.com is Inviting User Community Participate in World Archives Project

Ancestry.com has come up with a wonderful way to help searching genealogy easier. Check it;

Help us keep the
world’s stories alive.

For centuries, key moments in our stories have been captured on fragile paper. These records are often all that’s left of ancestors’ lives. Sadly, many of the world’s historical records are disappearing faster than we
can archive them on our own.

The World Archives Project lets anyone from the genealogy community help bring FREE historical record collections to the public. Contributors become the first to see new collections as they type in information that creates searchable record indexes.

I think this is great. Sadly though, I need to have Windows XP or Vista in order to download the software. I am still stuck with Windows 98. Maybe they will let me at the library.
