Just to update on the project. I haven't gone away or anything.  I'm evaluating my options for a better way to archive and present these things. It's becoming clear that the way I'm doing it now, isn't exactly useful. That and (like everything else) time has become an obstacle. It's happening, just slower than I'd like. What I would really like, is a true "library" sort of system, where I can keep track of articles, their author, the artists, even the ads, by page, by issue, etc. Possibly (hopefully) including OCR'ing some of this stuff. I'm looking at Greenstone at the moment.... In case you were wondering why it hasn't been updated in months :D I didn't want to go pouring more images into this system if I'm just going to replace it.
