Footnote's Annotations

One of the new features that we've added is Footnote generated annotations. On certain publications we've keyed names and other data as annotations. The first title to have this feature is the Revolutionary War Rolls. In the example image above and below (http://www.footnote.com/image/#10191483 or http://www.footnote.com/browse.php#All|10191483), the Muster Roll has each of the names annotated.

To the left is detail of the list of annotated names (note the boxes around each of the names). We believe that this data will be invaluable to Footnote users in this and many future titles.

The footnote user currently has approximately 1.5 million annotations on the site and thousands more being added each day.
