Is there a Step-by-Step process for a CO-OP Coordinator to follow ?
Yes! A generalized summary of the process is that the CO-OP Coordinator takes an “inventory” of the indexes available for the town of interest, then photocopies the index pages, brings together volunteers and coordinates the effort to transcribe the indexes to a spreadsheet which is then submitted to Jewish Records Indexing Poland. Submissions are included in the JRI-Poland database after they have undergone a thorough proofreading process. The Shtetl CO-OP Coordinator also directs the first proofreading step. The complete step-by-step process for a Shtetl CO-OP Coordinator to follow is available on-line.
