Salutations: I thought the list could provide some input on an idea that's buzzing in my head. We have a number of microfilm and microfiche copies of historical documents (these happen to be 17th/18th century Jamaican wills, inventories, etc.) that we use for study, as I am sure many of you do. I was wondering if anyone has any knowledge of methods, software and hardware, for transferring such copies directly or indirectly into a digital format? If no one has tried it, but has thoughts on the subject, I welcome this as well-- on or off list. thanks in advance, David ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- David A.
