"For genealogists, history buffs, and even the average passerby, Footnote is the quintessential Web-2.0 example of how to use your Web-browsing time wisely," according to PC Magazine. "You can find anything from handwritten notes from the Continental Congress to Project Blue Book UFO sightings."
Footnote.com, a social networking site revolving around history and genealogy, features millions of images of original historical documents available on the internet for the first time. Footnote.com has partnered with the finest archives in the United States including the National Archives, FamilySearch (The LDS Church), and Allen County Public Library.
What makes Footnote.com different is the site's social networking component which enables members to showcase items from family shoeboxes including old photos, letters and documents. These artifacts from the past contain priceless stories that have too often been hidden in closets and basements. Footnote.com enables members to upload their treasures and create pages on the site that highlight their discoveries in addition to sharing their own insights on topics and history.
"Learning about history should be fun and engaging" says Roger Bell, President of Footnote.com, "When individuals come together to discuss shared interests, that's when real discovery occurs. You can't get that from just reading a text book."
Visit Footnote.com today and see why PC Magazine describes it as "the sort of stuff that turns people into historians."
