Has anyone ever suggested that the LSA get this film scanned into digital images that could be sold and downloaded online (or via cd-rom)? Seems to be much more efficient and stable that microfilm? I volunteer to help you setup the online store, server etc., not a big deal, but I don't have a scanner that can do mass amounts of film. Libraries sometimes have this equipment? Disk space and hosting are cheap and this effort might generate some more revenue for the LSA since I'm sure usage would increase.
