The discussions of Xeroxing and de-acidifying are interesting, but
I'd like to hear any experiences of preserving documents by
electronic means - scanning, OCRing, and tools for doing that,
problems encountered, workable means of viewing and reprinting, etc.
The guys at <
http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~itda/frames.html> have
made an admirable effort. They've converted a number of documents
to Adobe PDF format. They're waiting on permission from DEC
to post some old docs - wasn't there a mention on this list recently
from someone who received permission to redistribute old docs?
