Brian,
We have a Documation / PC reader workstation setup at The Computer Museum
History Center that we use to archive/transfer punched cards to other media.
We have used it mainly to archive the 1620 IBM and User Group program
library - > 200,000 punched cards. Contact me and we'll figure out how to
get your stuff read.
