Wiki Content

 * Check Internet Archive for resources in different areas. See sample for Mississippi  Consider the many pages each article would be useful on. Also looked at the copywrites - be careful of the difference of what can be screen shot as opposed to just referring to a page.  Check out if the copywrite is actually out of date.
 * Project updates, ideas:

Wilma and Kathlyn continue working on Washington County pages. As an example, used Adam's County. Particularly the census area, including school census records (which are fantastic). They would like to have usability testing before expanding. Suggestions included using church groups, ie. YM, HP, to maintain demographics.
