Subject: [Genealib] scanning microfilm 

 

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!
