Small Scale Retrodigitization

Abstract

summary:The digitization of papers born in the print-only era is vital for the health of the mathematical record. Many large scale retrodigitization projects are underway and, at this point, probably more that half of the mathematical history has been finished. Many smaller journals and books remain to be done. This paper gives a framework within which these may also be completed. It uses the digitization of the Canadian Journal of Mathematics (53,000 pages), completed as a one-man project over a few months, as the working example. The project described herein not only may be used as a model for similar efforts but also indicates some interesting problems yet to be solved
