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?
VCF doesn't have the space to store newsletters and paperwork beyond the special limited collection that we have now in the climate controlled museum space and a limited selection in the warehouse. We would love to support any volunteer who wants to scan newsletters and paperwork that isn't available online. If a particular volunteer wants to scan something, then we can help make that happen. Beyond that we don't have the bandwidth to coordinate something like this as an ongoing project at this time. We hope to have something like that in the future. Keep in mind that there are many others who do this all the time are are better suited and setup to do such things.
