From Press Release:
The 1940 US Census Community Project, which includes FamilySearch, Archives.com, Findmypast.com, NARA, and ProQuest.com, have
now published browsable images online for 1940 U.S. Federal Census and
the completed searchable indexes for six of the states. Online volunteer
indexers have indexed 35% of the census. At current rates, they
anticipate wrapping up the indexing by late summer. Follow the progress
online at the1940census.com/dashboard or search the records on FamilySearch.org/1940census. FamilySearch
also published new, free records online for Argentina, Austria,
Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Czech Republic, England, France, Germany,
Hungary, Indonesia, Italy, Netherlands, Peru, Poland, Portugal, South
Africa, Spain, Sweden, United States, Venezuela, and Wales. Search these
diverse collections and 2.5 billion other records for free at FamilySearch.org.
Searchable historic records on FamilySearch.org are made available by
thousands of volunteers from around the world who transcribe (index)
information from digital copies of handwritten records to make them
easily searchable online. More volunteers are needed (particularly those
who can read foreign languages) to keep pace with the amount of digital
images being published online at FamilySearch.org. Learn more about how
to personally help provide free access to the world’s historic
genealogical records as a volunteer indexer at FamilySearch.org.
