World Vital Records is hopping again.

They announce that they have partnered with Quintin Publishing to put their entire CDROM library online. This is over 10,000 databases and is worth thousands of dollars if you were to buy each CD separately. This is a great library and includes such gems as Cassell’s Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland Volumes 1-6, England Maps, Ireland Maps, Scotland Maps, Handbook of Indians of Canada, Staffordshire pedigrees, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and Dictionnair Topographique Du Department de l’Eure just to name a few. They have just started adding this content to the site but will continue to add these great resources to the web over the next month or so.
