As to the National Archives and Confederate Records decision,
I can report only what has been written recently. In Volume 6
of the 1998 "Confederate Veteran" magazine, the current "SCV"
Commander Rick Griffin, reports the following:

"As some of you are aware the National Archives is curtailing
its service of copying Confederate Records. The serivce is to
be continued privately by Broadfoot Publishing Company. Pre-
sently all of the Confederate microfilm records are being di-
gitized by Tom Broadfoot, and they will be available on a fee
basis. It is anticipated that the service wwill take only a
few days to two weeks at tthe most."

No further information on this project is known at this time.
