I hate to bore people with numbers, but it is the best way to provide an update of our registered land "back scanning" project. First some history: We began the project in March, 2004 scanning documents that were recorded in 1994. In a earlier project we had scanned reg land docs 1-12000. We knew this project was quite an undertaking. But we figured if business continued to decline we would have the manpower to complete it. Let me also mention that it is a very important project. I would assess that things have gone rather well so far. To date we have scanned close to 40,000 documents covering a seven year period (1987-1994). Some unforeseen events have caused a few delays. Now the math(I promise no square roots)...There still are over 100,000 documents to be scanned. We average about 12,000 per month. Let's see...100,000 divided by 12,000 equals 8.3(months that is). Of late, we have picked up the pace by having other registry employees do document preparation during their down-time. This has really helped. Now the scanners just, well scan. And they stay with it most of the day. Our hope is to finish this project by the end of the year(cross your fingers).
