In offices of clerks of courts of record in which instruments are recorded by any photographic process, the clerk may, in the event any such instrument is in such condition that a perfect and legible record cannot be produced by such process, make and certify a copy of such instrument, for which he shall be entitled to such fees as are prescribed by law for making and certifying copies of instruments, and use such copy for making permanent records of his office by such photographic process. Such original instrument shall be preserved in the clerk's office, in the same manner as is prescribed by law for preserving wills.
