It uses AI to read and interpret text directly from document images. Available collections include nearly every type of historical record imaginable\, from church registers and court documents to military files\, newspapers\, personal letters\, land deeds\, and more. \nThe regular search looks at data that has been transcribed and indexed. In many projects\, this might be just a small portion of the document—often just a name and date. Full-Text Search\, by contrast\, scans the entire document. It lets you search the full sentences and paragraphs that usually go untouched in a regular indexing project. \nAlan’s presentation will commence at 7.30 pm followed by a short break and the business part of our meeting. Visitors are always welcome.

From there it has spread to every\nstate and territory of Australia. The quilts are such a powerful symbol in a traumatic time. \nHelen’s presentation will commence at 7.30 pm\, followed by a short break and our business meeting. \nVisitors are always welcome.
