Abstract
An index theory for projective families of elliptic pseudodifferential operators is developed. The topological and the analytic index of such a family both take values in twisted –theory of the parametrizing space, . The main result is the equality of these two notions of index when the twisting class is in the torsion subgroup of . The Chern character of the index class is then computed.
