We have microfilmed records for several churches.  Part of the deal with
a few has been our agreement to make photocopies of the ledgers or
minute books on acid free paper, then have the copies bound for the
church's library.

Larry,

We are in negotiations right now to microfilm or otherwise scan early
local church records.  Have films of several Lutheran churches which
served immigrants--that village name as recorded by the pastor is what
we're usually seeking.  Would love to hear about your project, either
off-list or on if others are interested

Being quite the computer geek, and heavily involved with digitizing at
the library, I thought this was a good idea.

But cooler heads prevailed when I suggested it - like, how do we know
who owns the rights? What if someone doesn't want the pic to be scanned?
And uploading pics that you have no knowledge of the provenance or
ownership or copyright is a box of worms. 

Obviously I am briefing down a VERY long discussion.

OTOH, I encouraged a local genealogy society to embark on digitizing
local church records. Anyone wanna hear about that?
