Digitizing Legacy Documents: A Knowledge-Base Preservation Project

Digital Libraries 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

This paper addresses the issue of making legacy information (that material held in paper format only) electronically searchable and retrievable. We used proprietary software and commercial hardware to create a process for scanning, cataloging, archiving and electronically disseminating full-text documents. This process is relatively easy to implement and reasonably affordable.
