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.

Does that mean they are going to destroy  all those old films or what??????
