This search provides an index of the 16,000 some cards listing any names found in the reel of microfilm available from Western Reserver Historical Society. The listing is based on reel 123 created by Wallace H. Cathcart, former director of the Western Reserve Historical Society.
The listing has 3 parts:
- Summary listing of each microfilm page containing ~10 cards. This was created by various Shaker researchers and maintained by Dr. Glendyne R. Wergland. The pages match the pages found on the microfilm, in content and order.
- Individual card entries: under each summary entry, there are up to 10 entries of the card number, person's name, and village. These were generated using a mix of computer OCR and hand-editing, all cards have been reviewed, some are unreadable.
- Actual individual cards: to create this index, the actual microfilm was digitized and split. These images are available to researchers under restricted access, the card numbers match the card on reel 123 as on the microfilm.
The level 3 entries are constantly being updated and posted as added or corrected. In some case, more compete card contents are available. This project will proceed must faster if any researchers care to assist, contact the webmaster and you will be given instructons on to how.
- Status: 16828 cards
Extra credit should be given to Ned Quist for reviewing a vast number of these cards.
