But I'm referring to the "unsearchable" digital records. Records you have to browse through, flipping through image file after image file because you can't Ctrl+F for a name or type it in a handy search box. FamilySearch.org has many of these records and I'm just starting to go through them (see below). I'm not even finished with the A's yet. It's quite daunting... but exciting and fascinating too. These are primary source records and well worth the time.
These are also being added to the Library and Archives so check the page regularly throughout the Summer for updates.
