This is basically a picture test..............we(Mom's family)are in the process of carrying out an agreement that is in place regarding Grandpa E's diaries. After being in safe keeping(at Mom's)for many years(approx. 15)they will soon be turned over to the Alberta Archives(at the Provincial Museum). It has been decided that we will take photos of each page, of each diary, and save them to some type of file/copy.........quite the undertaking as there are 11 x 5 year diaries that are complete and one that has 2 years in it.......in total 57 years!!!!
The plan is to have 3-4 camera's going and someone to flip pages for each camera. Snapping with a turner should go pretty fast..........and we should finish in a couple of hours!!!! The time comsuming part will be saving/sorting/copying........but it will be a relief to get it done!!!
Here is a sample of what we(Daryl & I)did on the weekend for a test, just to be sure taking pictures would work well!
