That's ok Shannon. I just wanted you to understand why and what we are doing with the scanner. I am also a genealogist and old documents, pictures record books are treasures to me. I don't think any book in the courthouse should be taken apart and scanned. I'm not sure even hand scanners should be used... what does the light do to these old documents and books? I have no issues with paying for copies... it is not as if I pay for them... the cost is built into the cost of our search.
I would imagine that the money for copies eventually goes into the general fund for the counties. I don't know about other parts of the country but counties here are struggling with lots of budget cuts including closing their offices down for an hour everyday. David are they really paying the imaging companies? How do I find out if that is going on here?
