Quoting
the news release:
People’s Choice ($25,000 cash and AWS credits),
Kindex, an app designed to help users create searchable, shareable archives of
family letters and other documents using tags to help users easily locate
information.
Kindex
was one of the 2016 RootsTech Innovator Showdown semi-finalists. After much
effort and perseverance, the company increased their capabilities and were
selected as the 2017 People’s Choice. Indexing software that lets families
archive and index their collections of family records. These include journals, letters, video and audio
collections.
Kindex
had a great booth at RootsTech 2018, and announced a major update to their
archival software. Here is a video explaining the update:
And just this month, Kindex announced new archival plan pricing.
While at RootsTech, I was able to meet with Laura Anderson, Senior Historian at the LDS Church History Library. She explained how she was able to leverage the power of Kindex to provide a platform for organizing and gathering the records of the Mormon Battalion. To view these records, or to volunteer to index, visit https://mormonbattalion.kindex.org and click Request Access
Until I actually looked at some of the archives it did not occur to me to use Kindex to archive photos. Of course, it seemed like a great option for journals and written records, but the photo option escaped me. Take a look at the Archives and see for yourself.
