Non-comic book scanning projects
« on: May 02, 2014, 04:53:18 PM »
I'd be very interested to know if others are doing for other publications what the scanners/editors here are doing for comic books.

For example, is anyone scanning all the great pulp magazines from the early 20th century?

A lot of pulps have been scanned & OCRed.  I thought I had a link, but I can't seem to find it.

Or have a look here! http://comicbookplus.com/?cid=1555 We have a largish pulp section now and you can see that there are some very active scanners

What about newspaper strips?

Aside from scanning collections of strips in actual books, and assembling the recent strips that are digitized by their syndicates, are people going to the source material (old newspapers, microfiche) to scan?

I've got the pulp scans spreadsheet from 3-17-2014.  Don't know if that's the latest, but it was when I got it  :P

It's got links to most scans in the spreadsheet.
