Is it possible to adopt an indexing project that is currently not publicly available ?

Murray P Gosney

Our Family History Center here in Northern Queensland Australia is currently promoting indexing amongst our members along with other Family History activities. We would like to adopt a "beginning" indexing project that all our families could be involved in the same time.

We realise that we could adopt a public project but the "beginning" ones are quickly completed and we can't currently find one for adoption.

Is there a way that we could some how initiate our own project, say for example "Australian electoral rolls" or other typed databases that need indexing ?

Currently you can't request projects to be indexed. Here are a couple of help center articles on the subject:
