We did that over at LSSM; we have thousands of pounds of manuals in the scanning queue. I worked hard setting it all up; we have very nice high-speed production scanners and a workflow to PDF/a format all set up. But the scanners sit idle, because nobody is willing to do the work. -Dave
Someone gave me 4 bankers boxes of SCUBA diving mags, in addition to a pile of Apple and TRS-80 magazines and newsletters. I used a friend's Brother machine and 3 computers. Chopped the binding, scanned it, tossed it. Sent all the magazines to Archive.org. Took a while. But stuff in a whole item, come back when it's done? Sit it next to your desk and feed it while working on other things! - Ethan
