Thanks for your heads-up !
Here's some more detail as to whats available & when:

"From October 1st-15th, we’re making another top collection free every day. From Australian electoral rolls to World War I documents, you’ll have access to all kinds of records, many of which are usually only available to our Worldwide members.
