I'm not disputing that things take time, but the notion that 60 year old paper is "fragile" is laughable.

I have books older than that and they are perfectly fine. I have papers relating to my fathers service in WWII and those could be put through an automated scanner without an issue.

It's not the paper.

Look, Google has used high speed scanners to digitize books 100 years older than that.

Again, I'm not saying it doesn't take time. But the speed of digitization and database indexing is not what they are holding the documents for. They are holding them because there is something in them they don't want made public. The delay is in how much needs to be redacted to ensure nobody can tease out the contents from what is left.

That is what takes time.
