Hello Rhode Island Genealogy and History Researchers,
http://www.fortunecity.com/victorian/stanford/228/wilk1869.html
This web page is the introduction to 500 page image scans of
Memoirs of the Wilkinson Family,
published in 1869 by Rev. Israel Wilkinson

Of special interest is the 27 notable Wilkinson descendant biographies

This book was scanned in on a Visionshape 1251 automatic feed scanner by myself and is for free non-commercial use on the Internet.
The pages images are in Group 4 Compression TIFF files, two pages per file and each file averages 50,000 bytes. This is half the size of the equivalent GIF file. This G4 TIFF file format is common for FAX and OCR but not for most image viewers or editors.

This is part of a free Books Online Effort, 20+ books can be found here -
http://genweb.net/~blackwell/books.html

You need to download a (free for personal use) image viewer such as the IrView
which is a VERY fast image viewer. IrfanView32 is only for Win95 and WinNT and is
available from ZDnet's http://www.hotfiles.com/graphics.html
search for IrfanView32 and download or from
http://stud1.tuwien.ac.at/~e9227474/download.html
or http://www.tucows.com/ or
http://tucows.nantucket.net/grap95.html
IrfanView32 can also rotate, flip and convert between different formats.

Another is ACDSee from http://www.acdsee.com
it is shareware/nagware, but very good even as nagware.
It is available for Win3.1 as acdc1621.exe
If someone finds a G4 TIFF compatable viewer for the MAC please tell me.
Can someone try the MAC shareware-  Iview and/or  Imageviewer  from http://tucows.nantucket.net/mac/imgvwrmac.html and the MAC freeware -
NIHImage from http://tucows.nantucket.net/mac/imgeditmac.html

I hope that people will volunteeer to type this book into HTML or text format so the text can be placed online and be searchable. I give
the Rhode Island Historical Society, RIGS, NEHGS, LDS, LOC, IIGS, and other appropriate non profit history and genealogy societies the non exclusive right to use these images and and volunteered transcriptions.
I think it will be OK to announce your intentions on [email protected].
(My very limited time will be better spend scanning in other books I have.)

One problem with the free 10 MBs of web pages at Fortunecity  is that if they are not visited every 60 days they get deleted.
So someone should visit this page every month so it will stick around. Another problem is the very annoying ads.
I need some people to take this book over and put it on xoom.com, I also have the Mowery Genealogy almost ready can anyone take it?

Best Regards,
