Microfilm Update May 25, 2009

Microfilming will continue this week. The Hanover Green Cemetery Project will finally be completed this week as there is only one binder of miscellaneous documents to be filmed along with the re-filming of Book 60. Whoever completes the binder, do not start filming Book 60 on the roll of film that is already in the camera. Book 60 will be filmed on a separate partially used roll of film so we can have it spliced to replace the original film section that was filmed improperly. If you don't feel comfortable changing the film, let it go until Jim or I can change it.

Stay in touch through this blog for future filming after this week. We will be doing some step tests next week. The next set of records that we will be filming include the Oakdale Cemetery, Luzerne Avenue Church of West Pittston and possibly some old local Grange records.

Microfilming to Resume May 19, 2009

The last remaining documents from the Hanover Green Cemetery have been sorted and the cover sheets prepared. Microfilming will resume on our regular schedule starting Tuesday, May 19, 2009. There are some smaller books in this batch that have to be filmed, though there is a large number of single sheet or couple sheet documents that will have to be removed from plastic sheets. Many of the documents in the last binder are quite fragile and will have to be handled with care.

Happy filming,
Alan
