Does anyone know if FamilySearch is still scanning microfilm during the pandemic?

I thought the scanning microfilm project was pretty much done.

what else are they still working on?

Hi, Carol,

 

I do not know the answer but I have made an inquiry which will take some time to obtain it. Hopefully we will both learn the answer to this great question, shortly.

 

Sincerely,

Carol,

 

I understand from reliable sources that Digitization of microfilms is still currently going on, but perhaps not to the same volume as before our current health restrictions. There's room for optimism according to Family History Department goals for the future of this (digitization) program.

 

Thanks for your participation in the Community Tool here at FamilySearch.org.

anything, though, specific

that someone knows is not microfilmed yet? (not available on line yet) but in the queue?

Thanks so much for checking. I kind of wondered that.
