ST ViewScan® Featured on NBC’s Who Do You Think You Are?

NORTHBROOK, Ill.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–ST Imaging (ST) (www.stimaging.com), a technology provider of micrographics and book scanning technology, announced that the company’s ST ViewScan product appeared in popular NBC show, Who Do You Think You Are? This show follows celebrities as they search for information about their family histories.

“We were so happy for the library and the scanner to be featured on the NBC Show.”

 

As celebrity Blair Underwood searched for clues about his family’s legacy and history, his search took him to Jones Memorial Library in Lynchburg, VA. Jones Memorial, the second oldest library in Virginia, was established in 1908 by Mary Frances Watts Jones as a memorial to her husband, philanthropist and industrialist George Morgan Jones, and specializes in the collection of historical and genealogical records.

Susan Pillow, Director at Jones Memorial was not looking to replace her functional reader/printer; however, the library had a problem with a microfilm collection of funeral home records dating back to 1820s– the old film was a poor quality negative film which was almost unreadable on the old system. Yet, when she placed the film in the ST ViewScan those old films became readable archives once more. “Jones Memorial Library has 3,000-4,000 rolls of film in its collection and the ViewScan System has made this history more accessible,” said Pillow. “We were so happy for the library and the scanner to be featured on the NBC Show.”

“We are pleased to see how our technology is improving the way people view microfilm, and enabling them to obtain valuable information that many times is only available on this type of media,” remarked Dan Donaldson, Director of Imaging Products at ST Imaging.
