He's gonna argue with you and say it was actually 1001, trust me.

This makes as much sense as dubbing 56 VHS PORN onto my computer.

Yes I finally started it. It's going to take me a year or 2 to complete it.

So, Aquaman, when are you going to finish those last 4?

Maybe the publisher has a database you can use, you should give them all call and tell them about this project.

They have indexes every year for the previous years articles but I want to take the index a bit deeper (ie advice columns have 3-6 questions every month).

So, you're not going to update the OP with a running total?

This is the first time i've seen this topic, and i must admit i admire your dedication. besides, it has to be better than going with microfiche.

 

[Aquaman]

Now I have to find a wider scanner............ one mag has gone to a wider page format.......... damn wide scanners are $$$

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 600+ 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

To update:

633/637 (99.37%) Done

4 mags to go

52000+ scans

21gb of scans

314 lbs (144kg)weight

No Torrents

i know this is late but what you could have done is used a high res camera (5 megapixels +) and used that to take pictures of each page placgin the camera on a tripod. i don't use a tripod but its works for me when i wanna scan some pages quckly to read on the computer later.

 

[aidanjm]

maybe a little bit crazy.

You're a nut case.
