Where I worked till retirement (National institute of Standards and

the US National Archivist were on first name basis. He strongly
believed that the way to make stuff available to the most people most

way to preserve printed information for the LONG term was microfilm.

viewpoint on preserving stuff. They really only want profit.
Claiming to have scanned lots of stuff is just part of that.
