Art Lassagne asks about converting microfilm to digital text.
I know that a good deal of work has been done in this area both at Yale
and the Library of Congress. I am not familiar with the literature on this
subject, but understand that there are a lot of problems involved in coverting
microfilm to digital--especially when the text includes images, such as maps.
References to the literature on this issue can be found in two
important reports published earlier this year. The first is James M. Reilly
and Franzika Frey, "Recommendations for the Evaluation of Digital Images
Produced from Photographic, Microphotographic, and Various Paper Formats"
(available from Technical Documentation for the National Digital Library
Project on the LC Web site at http://www.loc.gov). The other is "Preserving
Digital Information: Report of the Task Force on Archiving of Digital
Information Commission by the Commission on Preservation and Access and the
Research Libraries Group" (available from Commission on Preservation and Access
at http://lyra.org./ArchTF)

Best thing to do is have a chat with the experts. Call up Bruce Walters of
NMT Corporation at 608 781 0850. He, above anyone, should be able to fix you
right up.
