The goal of the Colorado USGenWeb Archive Project is to get transcriptions of original records and genealogical research data on the Internet so it is available to everyone.
Almost everything of genealogical research value. Some examples: Federal and State Census schedules and indexes; Local Tax rolls; Cemetery Indexes; Official Vital Records (indexes/certificates) - Marriage, Birth, Death; Biographies, Wills, Deeds, Newspaper Marriage articles; Obituaries, Church Records; Local Histories/Biographies and Old Local Directories just to name a few.
Copyrighted Material! Unless you own the copyright or you provide a statement of permission to use from the copyright owner. (See the USGenWeb summary of U.S. Copyright Law.)
Gedcom Files, Family Trees, Family Groupsheets. Archive space considerations prevent accepting these files. Suggest you consider donating them to Rootsweb's World Connect project instead.
Don't send information about living people! That includes:
However, death records for any year may be posted.
