Second,
all this material will ultimately be scanned and available on the Internet.
I'm curious as to who is going to pay for all the scanning.  As an archivist
who has worked on digitization projects, I'm am well aware of how time
consuming, labor-intensive and expensive such projects are for re-conversion.

In the past the govt. has paid for much of this, but in the current economy,
such projects are getting less funding.  I hope someone at LVA can correct me,
but I believe that many of the LVA digital projects funding were cut
substantially.
