[Genealib] Scan or index?

[P.M. McLaughlin]

All of ours are post-1923, so we just assume that
copyright protections apply.  A local author loaned us
some issues from the early 1930s, which we scanned ,
but these digital copies are only available for use in
the library.

In a related issue, a few years ago our local high
school printed an alumni directory - which was only
sold to alumni.  I hope someday we'll get a donated
copy.
