I have a suggestion that expand resource library for old books and journals , which also brings extensive knowledge and are valuable.
I suggest that, if possible to do so.Best way to scan.

If I got you right, then this is also my opinion, old stuff must be conserved, but my personal problem is lacking time to do so....

Technically you need only a good Camera and software for post-processing like cropping and OCR...

for some inspiration this is the best site:

There you can find many ideas and also links to technical processing software.
