Informative video on several subjects - and Up to Date:

"447 views • Streamed live 21 hours ago"

As a frequent user of digital images, this will speed up the process, but the 'waypoints' actually do a fairly good job, and the catalog often show what item number you need.

I didn't hear a time frame, but it likely will take some time.

A van Helsdingen said: Good News.

I hope they will also be to deal with situations where an entire film cannot be published or must be restricted due to privacy or contractal reasons on just one of the items. Upon splitting films, many records could have these restrictions relaxed. For example, I've seen plenty of towns where records from the 18th century through to the mid-20th is on one film, and currently the whole lot cannot be published due to the mid-20th century records being too recent.

Jordi Kloosterboer said: Yep in the video, he talked about how they will make millions of records available by splitting restricted films up:)
