Have most of the files been digitized?

I would say probably no files prior to about two thousand have been digitized.

Basically, we're looking at digitizing almost all of our files.

Even a file we went through ten years ago, there's-- might be a, a detective's notebook that is handwritten, and it's not digitized.

So we wanna drag that information into a digital archive so we can look at it, mine it for information.

So each time a file gets opened up and looked at or investigated, it creates another volume of information for us because many aspects of the file are duplicated in that investigation, and each one stands alone.

So we have to go through and identify what is duplicate, what is new, what is added onto the file, and also try to find gaps and information there.

Is there any reason why now?
