For the centuries families who were able kept a family bible not only to read daily but to record marriages, births, deaths and the many details which tell a family’s history, genealogy and perhaps their place in society. Over the years these tomes have ample opportunity to fall into disrepair. The challenge is to digitize one hundred years of materials inserted into to a family bible.
