Back in 2000, the Queens County Clerk’s office began a project to make digital images of selected records. When the enormous advantages over microfiche or microfilm became apparent, the office began imaging all of its records, not just judicial Orders and Judgments.
“At first I resisted the idea,” [Queens County Clerk Gloria] D’Amico admitted at the meeting, “but I’m glad you talked me into it,” she added, nodding in the direction of her staff.
It turns out that Queens is within striking distance of “digitizing” the last of its archived paper records before the existing contract expires, which will leave the other four counties to get help with their archives.
Currently, the county staffs are handling the new paperwork as it comes in – a mind boggling 20 million images a year in Queens alone.
