Jackie Earley, our town clerk, is the town of Woodstock Records Management, or Document coordinator. I spoke with her assistant, Lyn Sehwerert and she confirmed that there is not a program to digitize town documents at this time. According to Lyn, Jackie has made attempts to begin some sort of document storage, however each time she applies for the grants, the money dries up.
I will continue to develope reasons why it would be good to fund digitization of older town records. Perhaps it makes sense, as we are beginning to think about spending more money to investigate building or remodeling a building for town offices, to purchase digital scanners and programs to accomodate town records management.
