microfilm

[Robin W. Scribailo]

Dear Taxacom,

We are trying to find out the best (most inexpensive with the best
resolution) way to convert hundreds of pages of microfilm to digital pages.
Is there any way to use the microfilm reader to project the image directly
onto a scanner bed? I'm sure there is probably a very expensive machine
that does this for you as well. The microfilms are copies of the original
land surveys for counties which we are tracing vegetational changes.
Any help from those with ideas or experience in this would be greatly
appreciated.

Robin
