Very nice. Lots of thought and work went into that.

Will the digital versions be available to PGCA members?

This has got to be faster than using a flatbed scanner. How is the quality? Could you post a random page so we can see the quality?

Eric, don't I wish there was such an OCR program out there! It would be far superior to my brains OCR since I sometimes have trouble reading the words and letters.

Greg, that's a decision for the BOD but I doubt it.

Edgar, each picture is in the 6 to 7 meg range. I don't think the BOD would mind posting a random image. I'll try it but I don't know if it will upload due to it's size. I can tell you that I can really zoom in without loosing any quality. I can shoot a picture as fast as I can put the page on the platform, push a button, take the page off, and load another!

Well, the original file size is to large so I had to knock it down in size but you'll get a good idea of the quality.

Craig, that's a decision only the BOD can make.

Craig Larter, I didn't know the Fox Assn. did it. Bob Beach gave me the idea of using a camera. I would have picked your brain if i had known it. Did you do it internally or outsource it?

No it will not. These records, whether paper or digital, are the basis for our PGCA Research Letters.
