[or-roots] film and fische

[dsam at sampubco.com]

Starting LAST year, there won't be any microfiches or microfilms made from
microfilming operations by the Family History Department. They are changing
the operations to digital scanning operations, direct from records to
computer laptops.

This has been reported by Wayne Metcalfe of Acquisitions Division, not once
but three times. He spoke of it first time June 2004 - the Deaf were first
to learn of the changeover, the International conference of Archivists in
Sydney, Austria in Aug 2004, then last Jan at the Family History Library's
110th anniversary celebration - exact same speech he gave.

And until ALL of the Microfische from ALL sources are ALL on CD, I will use
my machine, thank you.

New data is being preserved through digital scanning,
and even microfilm and microfische images are being
digitized because film deteriorates and digital
storage is stable.>>

As far as the school of nursing is concerned--I don't give a rip.

bought a new reader/printer.  Why would they?>>
