Preservation of our heritage is what is important.... can you imagine what an outcry there would be if people of opposing church/religions/persuasions/theories suddenly said that no one could copy, see or preserve the Magna Carta (1215) or the American Constitution (1787). There would be an International outcry... but this decision is, as you all say, going to deny there EVER being a possibility for millions of 'ordinary people' - like you and I, of ever knowing about their forebears or where they were from - that is a crime against us all and as such should be open to public debate! The question is "How to go about doing that?" |

It seems that the LDS Church in the past has done a great job of filming paper records that are disintegrating and is now migrating them to digital, which will be available free to everyone on the web. But it seems that all those records that they weren't allowed to film will probably will be lost forever. |
