Each location set its own rules what it will take. And it may change over the next forty years.

This can be a major problem if you are considering donating your records, items, and computer files to some institution, such as the New England Historical and Genealogical Society. Your donee will not be able to redo your files. They will want pictures and other multimedia to be in the most detailed format possible. That often means LARGE files. If Legacy is unable to accommodate this, we better look for a different program! I have just been approached to donate my "collection." They DO want my files to be of the highest resolution. Are you saying that Legacy cannot accommodate this!!!! Geez! I will advise them that this is a major flaw in the Legacy program so they can inform their subscribers!
