Hello everyone,
I was wondering if there is any requirement for the method used to save
important documents and records.

My safe deposit box is filling up with copies of tax records, business
records, mortgage documents and such.  I was thinking of scanning the
documents and saving the images on a CD.  If necessary, I could print them
out.  I could keep one CD in the box that would contain all the paper
documents.

Is this an acceptable method of document storage?  Are there situations
where a document reproduced this way would not be acceptable and only the
original would be?  Some documents I have are copies of the originals, and
some are the originals themselves.  I assume the copies would be more
acceptable for conversion then the originals themselves, since the originals
should be retained anyway.

Thanks for the information.

Peter Diamond
