These digital images from NARA are far superior to those obtainable from\u00c2\u00a0either Ancestry.com or from the FHL\u00c2\u00a0because the NARA images\u00c2\u00a0are digital images of the actual cards, not images from microfilm.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">I didn&#8217;t even know that\u00c2\u00a0color digital\u00c2\u00a0images were available from the National Archives\u00c2\u00a0until Ewrann left the following message on my post <a href=\"https:\/\/stephendanko.com\/blog\/2006\/12\/19\/not-all-microfilms-are-created-equal\/\">&#8220;Not All Microfilms Are Created Equal&#8221;<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"left\">You can order a scan from the originals held at the NARA (National Archives &amp; Records Administration). They offer a b&amp;w photocopy of the original OR a 200dpi color .jpg. Cost is $10 each. Here&#8217;s an example of what they are SUPPOSED to look like: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.doctorjazz.co.uk\/jrmdraftf.jpg\">http:\/\/www.doctorjazz.co.uk\/jrmdraftf.jpg<\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">The NARA site is at: <a href=\"https:\/\/eservices.archives.gov\/orderonline\/start.swe\">https:\/\/eservices.archives.gov\/orderonline\/start.swe<\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Click on \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Made To Order Reproductions\u201d and the rest is self-explanatory.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"left\">Well, I ordered this image online on Saturday, September 15 and it arrived in my e-mailbox on Thursday, September 20.
