Fold3 aims to be the premiere online source for researching US military records. Launched in 2007 as Footnote.com, the site originally sought to publish a range of digitized original documents from the @US National Archives and other repositories. @Ancestry acquired Footnote in 2010 and narrowed the site’s focus to military records. Ancestry.com later renamed the site Fold3, a reference to the flag-folding ceremony in which the third fold is said to memorialize veterans. Key resources include Revolutionary War pension files (from NARA microfilm M804, which has the complete pension files); a growing collection of War of 1812 pension records (free to access without a subscription and digitized as part of the Preserve the Pensions Project); Civil War service records; some Civil War “Widows’ Pensions;” FBI Case Files; WWII “Old Man’s Draft” registration cards; and photos, Navy cruise books and casualty lists from more recent wars. Follow along with genealogy expert Sunny Morton on this quick tour around military records website Fold3.

March 19, 2014 (Huntsville, AL) - Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle announced the official launch of the city's new mobile app, Huntsville Connect. This free download allows citizens to report quality of life issues to the City of Huntsville from their iPhone or Android mobile devices. To use Huntsville Connect, residents with smart phones download the app, snap a photo of a problem and submit it to the City. The app uses GPS to identify the location, and the information is automatically routed to the appropriate City department for resolution. Citizens will be able to follow their issue from the time it is reported until it is resolved. Currently, there are 25 different service requests that can be submitted through the application, including complaints about potholes, graffiti, illegal dumping, junk cars, and traffic signal problems. Huntsville Connect is also supported by a widget on the City's web site, www.huntsvilleal.gov/huntsvilleconnect, making it easy for residents to report items online as well. "Huntsville Connect allows all of our citizens to be the eyes and ears of the City," said Mayor Battle. "It gives residents a convenient and efficient way to report issues on the go, beyond traditional office hours, and it enables the City to automatically and seamlessly respond. Problems can be reported quickly and accurately and the system follows the problem until it is addressed." In addition to submitting new reports, residents can also use the app to stay up-to-date with requests they have already submitted as well as other concerns reported in their communities. Once the request is submitted, users will receive a confirmation e-mail from a Huntsville Connect customer service representative with a tracking number. They will also receive a follow-up e-mail when the request has been closed. Citizens can also track the status of their requests at any time through the app or on the web at www.huntsvilleal.gov/huntsvilleconnect. Huntsville Connect is supported by SeeClickFix; the world's largest citizen-reporting platform.

The Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) is a website that hosts a community-curated list of open access journals, maintained by Infrastructure Services for Open Access (IS4OA).[1] The project defines open access journals as scientific and scholarly journals making all their content available for free, without delay or user-registration requirement, and meeting high quality standards, notably by exercising peer review or editorial quality control.[2] DOAJ defines those as open access journals where an open license is used so that any user is allowed immediate free access to the works published in the journal and is permitted to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of [the] articles, or use them for any other lawful purpose.[2] The mission of DOAJ is to "increase the visibility, accessibility, reputation, usage and impact of quality, peer-reviewed, open access scholarly research journals".[3]
