Re: Conversion of linear ft./inches to pages...



I think this was discussed on the list earlier this spring, but
the only answer seemed to be that it varies quite a bit. In preparation
for a microfilming project, we had to come up with such an estimate
for a particular collection. Our approach was to select some
boxes that seemed typical and count the pages, and base our estimate
on that.

Hope that helps,
