Ind. Gov't. - Porter County considers digitizing records

The Gary Post-Tribune reports today:

VALPARAISO — Paperwork and documents are piling up in the Porter County Administration Center, and space for boxes of filings is running out.

Digitizing the records could be the answer, but some county officials are not sure what paperwork can be completely dispensed with after digitization, and what has to be kept. * * *

In a meeting of Porter County commissioners and Porter County council members on Wednesday night, officials discussed solutions.

Earlier in the day, Commissioner President Robert Harper said computerized records are a possibility, as are microfilming documents.

I looked back for other ILB entires and found: "Delaware County records available online" from 8/11/05; and "County finishes first digital step to save records", a story about Allen County from 4/1/05.
