Quote: Outstanding idea. I'm sure of sales of the old Gleanings for ATMs and Walter Scott Houston articles would be a substantial revenue generator for S&T. I let my Astronomy subscription lapse about 15 years ago, but I would also love to see what they would have to offer from their archives.
Creating an archive of issues since the mid-'90s is probably straightforward, it's the previous 55 years and 50,000+ pages that might prove tricky. Done right, with searchable content and/or a top-notch index, we're looking at a project that could cost anywhere from $150K to $500K. Would it ever pay for itself?
