Dear Al, I actually don't know the answer to your question. My first response is for you to donate them to a university that has preservation facilities. I also understand that the Georga State Archives are very extensive because a relative of mine has done NC research there. Another thought is that the various counties in the various states have digital links where people have typed up old records and posted them for future generations. Generally there is a web coordinator or web master for each county that you should contact to do this because there is probably some requirement as to what form (disk?) they can accept entries in. Someone on RowanRoots probably knows how to do this better than I do. I know that the Guilford Co. page has been posting old newspaper marriage and death records from the Patriot of Greensboro in the 1830's and you could contact the man who has done this for advice. To get his e-mail, go to the Guilford NC homepage and there will be a link somewhere. I would type them up with all the spelling and punctuation errors. That gives authenticity to the memorialization of valuable records.
