For the most part, resources to actually republish newsletter articles are similar to that of the index (barring the database functionality). The only other additions would be a scanner, optical character recognition software, and MORE TIME!
I’ve done some rough estimates of the time required to convert 22 years worth of articles…
We have 22 years worth of newsletters; 4 newsletters per year; approximately 10 pages of text and pictures per newsletter. That’s around 880 pages to convert.
At the rate of 30 to 45 minutes per page it would take someone between 440 and 660 hours to convert (that’s from printed page to web page) every newsletter. Even if it were 220 hours we’re talking about an enormous amount of work!
