As you are aware, the Archives and Tombstone projects are now offline, and links to these sites now time out. This is a problem that will not be resolved quickly.
 
Today, the USGenWeb website was updated to add a note about the status of these projects. 
 
If you receive emails from the public, please provide this link and ask them to watch for updates. Similarly, you may consider updating the archives links in your state and county websites to go to this note.
 
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we try to move forward as a team from this unfortunate turn of events.

USGenWeb Project Update on Current Status

The USGenWeb® Project recently updated its main site to include a note about the status of its various ongoing projects. This update is intended to inform visitors and contributors about the current health, progress, and any changes affecting specific initiatives.

The USGenWeb Project is a volunteer-driven network of over 3,000 interlinked websites offering free genealogy resources across the United States. Its projects range from county-level transcriptions, photos, and maps to state-specific historical documents and research tools USGenWeb. Many of these projects are maintained by local coordinators and volunteers, and the status note reflects the current activity levels, funding needs, or volunteer availability for each.

If you are interested in specific projects, the USGenWeb Adoptables page lists those that are actively seeking volunteers to maintain or expand their content USGENWEB. This is a good place to check if a project you’re interested in is still active or in need of help.

For the latest details on each project’s status, you can:

  • Visit the USGenWeb® Project homepage and look for the status note in the main announcements or project pages.

  • Check the USGenWeb Adoptables list to see which projects are currently available for adoption.

  • Follow the USGenWeb Blog Announcements for updates on new initiatives, volunteer opportunities, and project changes 

In short, the update serves as a transparency measure, helping both researchers and volunteers understand which projects are moving forward and which may need support or attention.
