always seems like there aren’t enough hours in the day or enough days in the
week, doesn’t it? Take a look around you. Do you have piles of
research laying around? Old books gathering dust? Historical documents
sitting in boxes?
From now until the end of the year we will scan your documents, send you a digital copy, and put them online at Mocavo — for FREE!

We will even send your materials
back to you, if you choose. We work with our community to bring all of
the world’s genealogical information online for free putting everyone’s family
history within reach. We are bringing lots and lots of historical
information and databases to Mocavo; but, don’t let us have all the fun.
Join in!
The most important piece of your genealogy puzzle might be lying in someone else's attic or basement. In fact, your dusty pile of documents could hold the clue to solve another genealogist's riddle. Let us knock the dust off and help you tell your story to the world.

Through
ReadyMicro,
Mocavo’s digitization group, we are pleased to make available a $25,000 grant to enable other stewards
of genealogical content to share that information with the world.
Mocavo
seeks proposals from organizations that care for genealogical content,
archives, or historical records that they wish to make freely available online.
Materials proposed for digitization and/or indexing should be unique and
provide clear value to a broad number of genealogists. ReadyMicro will digitize
these materials and, in collaboration with the grant recipient, extract
associated metadata. Mocavo will create an online database from the
collection which will be freely available at Mocavo.com as well as the grant
recipient’s website.
The
Mocavo Community Digitization Grant provides the grant recipient with the
following benefits - $25,000 of digitization services including:
- Digital media organized into a searchable database
- Unlimited display and distribution rights for the resulting digital media
- An online version of the database which may be presented on the grant recipient’s website
More information on the program as
well as the application submission form can be found at mocavo.com/grant
