Hi Jan,
I have ordered copies before and they do a very conscientious job of making them as readable as possible, given the state of the original documents. What time frame are we talking about here? Would there be the additional problem of having to read "secretary hand" as well as the usual problems from faded ink, etc.?

If you have problems reading your documents, post them in the gallery and we'll all have a try.

All the best,
Sarah
