Two scanners are available at the Archives I facility. Approximately four service records can be scanned per hour. Records are being scanned at 600 dpi, 24-bit color. Each military service record will be burned to a DVD. One copy will be given to NARA to use as they see fit. Those who have laptops with DVD burners and scanners that can do 600 dpi color scans are welcome to bring their own equipment. The goal is to digitize at least 300 service records per week, starting with the state of Illinois.
Contact Karen Needles, LincolnArchives Digital Project Director, at (240) 462-9802.
The Archives building is open 9-5 Monday and Tuesday, 9-9 Wednesday-Friday, and 9-5 on Saturday.
