I visited the Diving History Museum with a buddy a few weeks ago. He was commenting on their periodical collection, and I suggested to him that much of it is likely scanned an online via the Internet Archive or other resources. I checked around to show him, and to my surprise none of it is.
Have there been any efforts to digitize this stuff? I posted a wanted ad on Craigslist to start trying to fish up issues of Skin Diver which seems to be the longer running periodical but figure I should make sure there aren't duplicated efforts. eBay has some but the prices are pretty high. Any leads from you all? Perhaps old library copy sets?
It is my goal to cut the magazines in half where the staples are and feed them through a duplex scanner to convert to PDF. It's the most time efficient way.
This isn't a passion project of mine or anything, I'm just a data hoarder and think everything print needs to be converted to digital.
Thoughts?
