Do anyone know any existing effort on converting these scanned image to text corpus ( probably a new OCR model needed to be developed on these old text ) ? I think it would be more usable if they are in text form in terms of search and research purpose.



Well when Apple releases the next OS it will automatically OCR all images, so one possibility is just downloading them all on an Apple device.


It already is. I do text searches all the time here and have paid for a subscription for awhile now.
