[Genealib] scanning microfilm

[Local History]

In a recent meeting with a local historical society, we were discussing scanning microfilm and are looking for any advice from small in house projects.  What hardware and software did you use? How accurate is OCR? was the work done by staff or volunteers? 
Thanks!
