GUEST,Robert B. Waltz Finding a home for Folk-Legacy's Library (26) RE: Finding a home for Folk-Legacy's Library 28 May 23


KarenJoyce wrote, in part, The Internet Archive accepts donations (any size, variety of media, definitely including books)

And some of their digitizations are really pretty bad, especially, I suspect, in books which had paper which had darkened with age or due to acidic paper, or which used old, unusual typefaces -- which description would probably apply to many of the best things in the Paton library.

Also, ideally, one would like to digitize the music as well as just the text. Not just create images, note; convert it to a usable digital music format (ABC, MIDI, something).

Making a good digital archive of a music library is a tough task. While I would applaud if someone were to try to do it, I'd suggest that there should be a good physical library (or museum, or something) associated with the task.
