EBSCO Publishing (EBSCO) and Footnote have announced a distribution deal making EBSCO the exclusive worldwide distributor of Footnote.com for libraries and institutions. Footnote.com combines original historical documents and personal histories, creating a unique historical and genealogical resource.
The Footnote.com collections feature over 55 million images available from a content partnership with The National Archives and other regional archives—most never before available on the Internet. These digital images of records, preserved in the National Archives, represent a growing collection of historic documents.
Footnote includes material relating to the Revolutionary War, Civil War, World War I, World War II, US Presidents, historical newspapers and naturalization documents. A recent review rated Footnote.com higher than all other genealogy resources and called it “cutting-edge in every way."
Eric Keith, the Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Footnote, says, "We are thrilled to be working as partners with EBSCO. Their worldwide sales and customer service teams are second to none when it comes to working with libraries. We are confident that our current and future library clients will be in good hands with EBSCO."
In addition, libraries subscribing to Footnote.com will be able to provide remote access to patrons looking to research their family genealogy or explore the images of the original source documents that are available online.
EBSCO Publishing's Vice President of Archive, Literature and Proprietary Products, Michael Laddin, says, "Working with Footnote lets us provide our customers access to a leading historical and genealogical database. Footnote has an unprecedented, vast array of valuable and unique content of interest to historians and genealogists alike."
