[TUHS] microfiche scanning news

There was a posting on the SIMH list today from Joerg Hoppe <j_hoppe(a)t-online.de> about a project to build a microfiche scanner that has now successfully converted 53,545 document pages to electronic form, and the files are being uploaded to the PDP-11 section of bitsavers.org. The scanner is described here: http://retrocmp.com/projects/scanning-micro-fiches There are links on that page to the rest of the story. It is an amazing piece of work for a single person. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Nelson H. F.
