Hello Bruce.

I went on line this morning and had a look at Microfilm Reel C-1587. it appears identical, warts and all, to the copy Chris obtained years back. Lots of unreadable pages. Makes one wonder what the point of attempting to save ones Heritage is, if what you save cannot ever be referenced/used by the future generations. My thought is the microfilm project was implemented to get vaster access to the archive material. Hundreds of film prints could be made and distributed for viewing as opposed to a single original only available to one researcher at a time.

Also makes me wonder if the paperwork went back into long term storage after being microfilmed in the 1950's, or was destroyed. Be nice if still in storage as the possibility of being able to pull illegible documents and re-image them would still be a possibility.
