When it comes to things like newsletters and paperwork, is it worth VCF building a pipeline to scan stuff and feed it into the internet archives?
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.
Offered to do the same at InfoAge to start archiving the pallets of documents in the attic and elsewhere. No one is interested in the concept except to somehow monetize access to the material. Martin
