Cheryl, Just a friendly reminder - there is a guy in Virginia I believe, that converts microfilm to high resolution scans on a CD. I've had him do 10 rolls of Gibson Co newspaper for me and he did a great job. I paid $50 per roll to have him convert the film over to CDs and got a free copy of the CD for my time and money. You may think this is expensive, but it allows others to buy the CD for $20 a piece (maybe less) which is probably less than you paid for the microfilm. If you or others are interested (you need fresh clean microfilm), you can contact him at his website - www.digital-antiquities.com . If you decide to convert your film to CD, let folks here know about it because I'd be interested in buying old Clerk Minutes if they were only on CD. Take care Cheryl, et.al., Eddy G.
