16 Years of Scanning

This registry of deeds began scanning documents in November of 1994. Back then the images were stored on a digital platter called an Optical Disc. Each Optical Disc held 940 MB (less than one gig) or approximately two weeks worth of recorded documents. From1994 until 2001 We scanned these document on a flat bed Fujitsu scanner. One person working all day could scan about 300 documents with it.

Boy have things changed.

Today we scan using a Fujitsu 6670 that capable of scanning 600 documents or more a day and we store the images on RAID drives that have several terabytes of memory.
Below are various scanners we used from 1994 to present...
