Re: family information pages in bibles



It may be possible to take a digital photograph of the
family pages and then print copies on the computer.
Transcribing the information is probably the easiest
way to go, however. Most archival supply companies
should have appropriate-sized boxes. Try University
Projects, Gaylord, or Archivart.
