Hello Listers! Yesterday, someone told me that there is a microfilm reader at the SLC library that allows you to copy the image onto a flash drive. Does anyone know how this works? How clear is the image? I'm thinking that this alone may be worth a trip to Salt Lake City! Thanks! Barb Eidel Apple Valley, CA

I think they can do that at any local library.............they have to take the film from the reader and attach it somehow to the computer reader and then can make a copy to a flash drive.............someone did that for me here in Florida..... -----Original Message----- From: Barbara Eidel <ebarbarajo@verizon.net> To: alsace-lorraine@rootsweb.com Sent: Sun, 17 Feb 2008 10:18 am Subject: [A-L] Microfilm readers Hello Listers!

Barbara, I have this at the library where I work. The microfilm reader is hooked up to a computer. There is an Image Scan program on the computer that lets you scan the image (usually an 8.5 x 11). You darken or lighten the image and despeckle it. Then you have the option to print or save the image to the computer drive. You then transfer/copy your image to your flash drive. I would imagine that is what they have at SLC.
