Hi Debbie, I apologize for taking so long to get back to you. I was out of town for two weeks and became ill right after my return and was in the hospital for another two weeks, and am only now FINALLY getting caught up with my back correspondence now that I am well on the road to being fully recovered. To answer your question, I have formed a company, Moore Digitized Documents Company, where we take digital photographs of old documents owned by churches, libraries, historical societies and other non profit groups, digitally enhance the photos, index them, and then put the digital images and the index files for those records onto CDs as a way of preserving the information that is on these old, often fragile, historically significant documents and making that information available to the general public. We don't charge the non profits anything for doing this service, and in fact pay them royalties based upon the sales of the CDs, so that they will have a source of income that will hopefully enable them to be able to take other steps to preserve their old documents. Our first contract is with Calvary Church, Conshohocken, PA, which has had a number of descendants of Original 13 families among its membership over the years. We have released Volume 1 of the Calvary Church Archives and are currently in the process of indexing the records that will be included in the second volume, as well as continuing to photograph other documents that will be included in future volumes. We have also been involved in preliminary discussions with other clergy members from other churches who are also interested in having us digitally photograph and preserve the information on their documents as well, and we will hopefully be able to begin working on the other churches' archives once we have completed our work at Calvary. I will continue posting some of the other listings from the records that pertain to the Original 13 as I run across them in the course of our work.
