It is conceivable that the officers, having spent money and time in setting up such a system, might view its use as a revenue stream to partially offset its cost of establishment, maintenance and use.  I know of some museums that do this.  Undoubtedly there may be other reasons for controlling access.

This whole thread is armchair quarterbacking at its finest. Yinz want
stuff from the PTM archives online? Talk to the archivist and
volunteer to scan it. The question of what program is in place to scan
it and to manage it once it is is moot until there are warm bodies to
do it anyway.
