Early Families of Rutland, Vermont

click for larger imageCompiled by Marvel G. Swan and Donald P. Swan; edited by Dawn Hance Rutland Historical Society, 1990

  "The CD sells for $20 with free shipping and handling. "

 

The Rutland Historical Society is pleased to announce the re-issue of Early Families of Rutland on CD. This 464-page genealogical volume covers many Rutland families before the Civil War and includes over 170 illustrations of people and homes. This original work, which was edited by Dawn D. Hance, is based on the local genealogical work compiled by Marvel G. Swan and Donald P. Swan

It has been out of print for over a year and the Society is certain that its re-issue on CD at a price significantly less than that of the original book will be attractive to many.

The pages on the CD are in PDF format and allow the use of the PDF search function making for a very useful feature in the re-issue. The standard book index is still included on the disk. Photos on the CD can be increased in size while maintaining a high quality image. The digital edition was produced by President Chuck Piotrowski and published for the Rutland Historical Society with technical assistance from the Central Vermont Public Service Corporation. The PDF was made using Adobe Standard version 8 and scanning the printed edition on a Fujitsu 5750c scanner. Print pages were scanned at 30 dpi black and white. The pages containing images were scanned at 300 dpi in grayscale.

Those wishing to purchase a copy of the CD should send $20 to the Rutland Historical Society, 96 Center Street, Rutland VT 05701 Attn: Sales. There is no shipping or handling charge. Sorry, we do not process credit cards.
