ABSTRACT:
A subscription facsimile system of the type in which providers supply new documents for storing the images thereof in a centralized database. Subscribers register with a system as to one or more subject matter areas of interest. A processor cyclically scans the document database for new documents that have been added thereto. The processor correlates the subject matter of the newly added documents to the identity of the subscribers having an interest in the same. The new documents are then transmitted by way of facsimile to the subscribers who have registered an interest in such subject matter.
