Hi, all,

In my spare time (ha ha) I have been pondering a joint venture with our
local library and the local newspaper. Like most newspapers, ours is not
indexed at all, yet it has a lot of great information in it. It is also
currently available only as microfilm - and not they great a quality at
that. I would love to get the whole thing digitized and indexed for use by
researchers. I know that the library here is interested also, and the
newspaper folks probably would be also. I'm just not sure what the
mechnanics of it would be.

Has anyone else done a project similar to this one? How did you go about it?
Where did you get funding? I'd be interested in picking your brain!

Thanks!
Erica
