Microfilming Schedule Change

There is a change in the microfilm schedule. Jack and Curt will exchange positions on Tuesdays with Jack now coming in at 9:30 and Curt coming in at 11:00.

October 26,2008 Update

I just received an email from Jim saying he will come in on Tuesday at 9:30 to help Curt with the large book that has to be filmed vertically. The remainder of the schedule can proceed as scheduled. I can be reached at alandrust@aol.com if there are any questions. You can also leave comments on the blog. To leave comments on the blog, click on the comment link at the bottom of a post.

I completed Books 53 through 55 tonight. The SF reading is 1463 so there is plenty of film left for Tuesday's filming. The next Book to be done is a large book and has to be done in the vertical position. It would probably be an easier task if two people were to film it.
Maybe someone can come in early and help Jim, or Jim can come in later to help Curt, Jack or Richard. Any suggestions? You can email me or leave feedback in the comments section of this post.
Just trying to keep everyone informed and on the same page.

Step tests numbers for Hanover Green Cemetery Books 52 through 59 have not come back from Jim W. as of this post. I hope to receive them on Monday. Stay posted to this blog as I will post as soon as I receive the numbers. Hopefully the Tuesday schedule will go as planned. Another box of books are ready for step tests. We will try to complete those this week so we can have enough material to keep us going for awhile.

Microfilming Schedule

This blog has been set up to resolve some communication problems that our volunteers have been encountering. A few volunteers have made trips to the library recently only to find that there was no material ready to be microfilmed because we were waiting on step tests numbers.

I am hoping that by setting up this blog, any changes or cancellations to the microfilming schedule can be posted here almost immediately. Volunteers can then check this blog to see if any changes or cancellations have been made before making the trip to the library.



Hopefully in the future we can add other features to the blog such as instructions, upcoming projects, complete listings of completed microfilmed material, etc.

Please leave comments on how you think we can improve this blog.
