Topeka area youth, you can get involved in a fun and competitive project set to kick off Aug. 29, 2015. The Youth Indexing Competition challenges you to be a historian and help to create a world where our history can be accessed swiftly with the click of a mouse.

The genealogy crew at the Topeka Library wants your help with record indexing, and we’re offering a prize to the person who indexes the most. A Surface Tablet!
