You are one seriously dedicated (if completely insane) man. I'll let you PIMB any day

For your work, I say, "Cheers, Aquaman."

That's probably true. That scanner has gone above and beyond.

How many actual scans have you done? 1 magazine = 50? pages = 100 sides....

damn you have a lot of patience. I remember when this thread got started and thinking that you would probably quit.

[UglyCasanova]

This has probably been asked but there is no way I'm searching through all of this. Are you gonna make a torrent of this when you are finished (please!)

I was hoping to see a "I'm finished!" post.

Now, think about what Google books is trying to do....

 

[dnuggett]

Question...


How many of those mags have online archives? Might have made more sense to archive the digital articles. Since you are using some of them for reference, what format are you saving them to to make them searchable?

Only one of the mags has an online archive but it is only 2 years of issues.......... I have 16 years worth of that mag.

What software are you using? Did you use OCR software? Are the PDFs searchable?

 

[Aquaman]

No OCR....... making them into jpegs then into PDF's. I will create a database for the articles.
