Notes
- Scanning in at 300ppi, 256 gray shades (8-bit grayscale)
- I'm not uploading the raw PDF files, since they're about 5 times as large as the jpgs
- Scanning pages 362-1169 (807 pages)
- 2 pages takes roughly 5 minutes to scan, convert, upload and add text
- 2017.5 minutes total required
- 33.625 hours required
- approximately 1 hour/day available
- about 40 days total
- 14 pages already scanned (but not proofed)
