In some cases and within some limits. 

  For instance, our database of foreclosures going back 7 years in one county and 2 years in another would be offered to the project. 

  In another way, the table of public official records research for our past property work might be available, but not posted online.  In this instance, listing the assessors parcel numbers and/or property addresses on an index page, might be sufficient for other researchers to know what kind of research is already available and might be paid for from those who own the work.  Researchers could contact each other when a project on a subject lot appears and ask about the available range, content and cost for such prior public records information.

  In yet another example of contribution, those who are willing to go out and find un-indexed records that are not yet online and that do not appear to have a good prospect of going online, would be invaluable.  These records ccould be scanned in a digital reel, or hand-indexed.  My previous exmaples of these are the best:  dead-filed APN maps not inclluded on current GIS indices, old assessment and tax rolls from decades ago, vital records that governments will not post online due to government code restraints, local musuem archives and library collection...  Actually, we picked up a large quantity of microfilms, maps and other research books from a local title plant that was closing down and junking them.  We want to digitially scan the "NAME INDEX" books from pre-1921, because they are unlike the County GG and are indexed by family.  What resources have you got nocking around your business basement that are unique?
