I completely recommend AGAINST destroying the
original. Not only is it
in
some cases a historical artifact on its own, if the
digital copy were
ever
to be lost then you're SOL.
I too was going to suggest Doug Jones, but Ethan beat me to it. however,
if you read Doug's pages, you'll see he thought carefully about this,
consulted conservators, and actually describes very carefully how and why
to minimise the historical loss.
