Searchable historic records are made available through the help of thousands of volunteers from around the worldon FamilySearch.org/indexing . These volunteers transcribe (index) information from digital copies of handwritten records to make them easily searchable online. More volunteers are needed (particularly those who can read foreign languages) to keep pace with the large number of digital images being published online at FamilySearch.org.
