If you werent planning on giving them away, I would say get an automatic duplex scanner. Doing anything over 50 documents by hand is a pain in the ass.
Edit: already suggested.

Just store em away. If you wanted to work hard, it'd be a magazine a day. Don't tell me you can do 100 scans a day, even 50 a day is pushing it. I would store em in a box.
I have actually been doing 100 scans a day but that will slow down oncee tax season starts

PaperPort 9 will do duplex scanning from any ADF, but you have to flip the stack yourself.Originally posted by: digitalsm

Are these magazines about setting up and maintaining aquariums?
Is there really that much info on aquariums? WOW.

even if you had the time to scan all of them your scanner would probably burn up before then.

I have collected over 15 years of Aquarium magazines but they are taking a lot of room up in my den. I don't have the heart to just throw them away (I will probably give them to a local library) but I am still in the hobby and I still enjoy reading them and using them as a resource.
Do you think it's crazy to scan 500+ mags? I won't be scanning every page but all pages with articles on them so for example a 70 page mag will have 45-50 pages that have articles or pictures on them.
I guess I will find out how tough my Canon Scanner is

If this really isn't a joke, why not pay someone else to scan them? People with OCD actuially love jobs like this, and I'm sure you can find someone who'll do it for near min wage.

EDIT : I'm sure you know other people in the hobby, or other forums. Why not just break it into stacks about 10 mags each, send them to people /w return packaging to scan, and everyone gets a copy of all the PDF's after? There are so many better ways to do this then 250 hours at a scanner.

If you have lots of free time, then hey, go for it. But I voted Yes.
Maybe if you were watching a movie and could just swap the pages as you were doing something else it woudln't be too bad, but if just sitting there scanning over and over.. Man. I'd just go get a big rubbermaid (or some other non paper/cardboard) container and store them somewhere.
