I have a question for you folks! I never heard of this before in all the years I been doing genealogy while scanning things to be in electronic format for my own personal resource library. Why would someone state such thing. Any ideas or thoughts on this? "Recently, I received newspaper clippings from a woman in California who belongs to a Genealogy society. She sent me obituaries and death notices of Idahoans who died either in CA or had CA connections. Some were from the following : Boise, Blackfoot, Roy, Montpelier, and Oakley, Idaho. I was told that to scan these newspaper clippings might go against copyright laws. " Matt Friend -- *Matthew D.
