ReadMe file for Scans folder

This folder contains scans and other digital images.  The files named  SCANn.PCX are examples of output from a conventional scanning process using a flatbed scanner.

The subfolder named "8000 Verses" contains examples of images created using a high-end process of digitally scanning specially prepared microfilm.  Not only does this method produce a superior result, but it also requires less time with the original materials.  A team of two can shoot 2 reels (about 1200 frames) of microfilm in a day, and these reels of microfilm are then scanned by special equipment in an automated process.
