Synopsis
As some of you may know, the VOC Archives are degrading at a rate which will make them extremely fragile in a few years. As such I have applied for and received a grant to digitize them. This will involve LOTS of scanning, looking at old pictures, eating pizza, and experimenting with a PDFing programme. If this interests you, come by the Clubroom on Friday the 14th between 11:30 and 4:00 to guarantee that someone will be there. After that all bets are off, though if there is enough interest--on the wiki--I will consider purchasing beer to carry on into the night.
Thanks, Duncan, Archivist
