"La Bibliothèque Nationale du Québec" here in Montréal has "all" archival documents available on microfilm, linked to a 'pay by page' photocopier. Nobody but personnel can get to the originals.
The main drawback is that old
printed documents are fairly rare. Most of them were handwritten, causing dissention on the real decoding of what is written. The only way to digitize such documents like this would be in a bitmap or image format without OCR, leaving to the historians the right to interpret
true meaning.
Every historical document of the world shoud be available in e-format.
