A few days ago, MyHeritage launched a pro-bono global initiative with BillionGraves to preserve every cemetery and gravestone in the world and they are providing the content online, for free. This project is important and beneficial for genealogists everywhere.
MyHeritage just have produced a short video about it. It features Gilad Japhet (MyHeritage’s Founder and CEO) who participated in our company’s trip to the cemetery and who alone was responsible for digitizing around 1000 gravestones in 3 hrs! It’s a race against time. The more people that they can encourage to participate now, the more data will be preserved for future generations, before inscriptions start to fade.
Check out the YouTube video.
