Its a simple but important answer. This needs to be digitized. This can be time consuming but with todays technology and some temp workers doing whatever manual scan etc part is needed. Not a real hard task...time consuming? Yes. An investment? Yes. Lets ask ourselves, how are Galen Govier records Kept? What about the Marti reports? Do they keep those records in digitized form or are they sitting in the same old steel file cabinets that came out of the same dumpster the films did...
Easy to stop the deterioration. This for sure was a great resource for documenting cars but, in the absence of a 3rd party verification source for a potential buyer of a car and with the ease to basically make any PHS somebody could desire, makes the fact that these films will eventually be gone along with the ability for a buyer to verify a car apart from some printed PHS that the seller is holding onto..This verification process is what has made many cars have multiple PHS reports run on them. Many Many cars have had many reports mailed out... I have heard also that reports run in recent years are scanned into a computer but....what is this set up? A real "secured" hard drive or some computer sitting on a floor?
In a case where such important documents exist for anything the Care Taker role is very important...Where does it go from here? What changes? We all know...
An important subject none the less.....
