January, 2010: In the past 3 months we have added more than 9,000 additional information sources. Each information source is linked to a specific website. Our first anniversary of the new website approach (200 countries) comes in April, 2010. We will have a special anniversary announcement at that time. 

Our gateway now features 37,000 websites, several thousand of our own online databases, and a growing collection of antique maps. 

July, 2009: A new category was added called MAPS. The first 1,000 antique maps were added to the website, spanning the time period from 1000 A.D. to the early 1900s. Most of the maps were greatly enhanced, to provide easy viewing under great magnification compared to the originals. The number of sourced databases was doubled during this month.

May and June, 2009: Thousands of new databases and eBooks were added, with an increasing focus on eBooks around the world.

April, 2009:  GRL.com launched its major thrust into the information world. It features an "Internet Gateway" which leads to thousands of databases with information about people living in the Past, as well as in the Present. The Gateway uses clear "descriptors" to inform people of what they will find, before they even start a search. These "descriptors" describe databases, lists, or information sites, as well as hundreds of rare books, all forming a virtual world "at the fingertips" of beginners and professional researchers alike.
