About
Our
CDs
Many of our CDs are composed of collections of
multiple texts and documents concentrating on specific regions or
subject areas. Many contain 5, 10 or more separate publications. Each
CD is truly a reference BONANZA to the home historian with thousands of
pages of research information.
The age
of most of these text make them inaccessible to the average researcher.
Naturally their scarcity and fragility makes them very expensive to
acquire hence often kept under lock and key in an effort to preserve
them. Unfortunately this also makes them unavailable for public view.
Our CDs are produced by scanning the actual pages of the original text
making them not only excellent resources but archival copies available
for future generations. If you could find a hard copy of any of these
books it would cost hundreds of dollars - individually worth many times the cost of
a CD. The average
cost of a single
CD, containing our "theme or regional" based collections has been kept
affordable in an effort to make this information obtainable to as many
home researchers as possible.
Our CDs have become the
ultimate research tool. Having a copy on hand allows research at your
leisure and your schedule while in the comfort of your home.
Additionally you can still print individual or groups of pages as you
need directly from your CDs. Giving you the best of both old and new
research techniques. Unless otherwise noted most pdf Files are now
searchable. Searchable pdf files allow single or multiple file
searches with one search request.
Our CDs are designed to be
easily used even
for those new to computers. The opening menu, which opens much like a web page
(utilizing your browser and a link like navigation system), is easily
navigated and extremely user friendly.
Before using our CDs please
update your Adobe Reader to the newest version available. Updates are available as free
downloads at adobe.com. Our CDs now work with both major
operating systems -- Windows and MAC OSX
