I haven't discussed Footnote.com very much on this blog. I am not a subscriber, but I have wandered through the site several times, but not on a regular basis.
I was going to summarize what Footnote.com has on their site, but I think Dick Eastman has done this better than I could - in three recent blog posts.
You can read a summary about Footnote.com at http://www.footnote.com/about.php.
Footnote.com has an agreement with the National Archives to digitize and provide images of original documents in the Archives. The historical documents available at present are summarized at http://www.footnote.com/documents.php.
One of the unique features of Footnote.com is the "Story Pages" - where contributors can share ideas, web pages, personal documents, photographs, etc. with others. The Story Pages summary is at http://www.footnote.com/storypages/.
Footnote.com also has an official blog at http://blog.footnote.com/. There is also an Unofficial footnote blog at http://footnoteblog.blogspot.com/.
Dick Eastman's three blog posts titled "An In-Depth Look at Footnote.com" are at:
1) Part 1: The Original Documents
2) Part 2: Free Story Pages
3) Part 3: You Are In Control
Finally, Dick Eastman also provides a video interview of Beau Sharbrough, the Senior Director of Content Strategy and Acquisition at Footnote.com.
