Yes, I was there when they were beta testing the scanner a few years ago. I came back sooooo happy because I brought back a cd rather than a load of papers.

By the way, the National Archives in DC has a reader/copier/scanner in the main microfilm reading room, and it's right in front of the area where the Freedmen's Bureau microfilm is stored! So all you need to do is turn around, grab a reel, and scan away!.
