. . .A total of more 
than 2,000 films have already been digitised. Funding has been secured 
for the digitisation of a further 3,000 films. Our service provider 
has just picked up 1,000 films today. We are also working intensively 
on the question of how to ensure long-term preservation of the digital 
copies as well as access to the materials for research purposes . . .

If I'm understanding correctly an earlier posting of Roland Steiner that:the NGMCP had photographed 9,136 microfilms, does that mean about  1/4  of the total  (1000 films) have already been digitized and funding has been secured for the digitizing of another 1/3 of the total  (3000 films), leaving a little less than a half of the total (4000 films) than needs funding to be digitized?

Thanks,
