<VV> CORSA publications scanning project?

[Jamie & Tanya Reinhart]

All, From what I have been told the Communique has been produced in 
electronic/digitized form since April of 1999. This makes it fairly easy to 
change them into the PDF form that is used on the website. Scanning and 
digitizing the remaining 20 years of Communiques will take some work. It is 
not as simple as scanning the document and turning it in to a PDF. Gary and 
Bruce worked very hard and spent many hours to perfect the system to do the 
publications that have been finished so far. They are owed a big debt of 
gratitude. I am sure if someone wants to volunteer to scan the others they 
can tell you exactly how to do it. It is a very important project for the 
success of the website, which in my opinion is the key to CORSA's future.

This might not be out of the question since as far as I know all the really
rare early stuff has already been done.  It would probably be difficult to
find an individual with a very large collection willing to cut them, but
maybe not as difficult if we assembled all the missing issues from many
people donating smaller very incomplete collections.
