Re: card catalog trivia question
I have a similar project that I'm working on with a historic preservation
file. I took an inch of cards, and counted them out to be 100 cards per
inch.
Now, my question for the group is--how much digital space will I need to
digitize approximately 12,000 cards. Most of these cards are typewritten
but some have newspaper articles attached and some have type on both sides.
I would appreciate any replies.

Hello,
For a proposal I am working on to have a 3x5-card newspaper index converted
to a computer database, I need to estimate about how many cards are in the
typical shelf list drawer. I don't feel like counting, and my cataloging
department doesn't have an estimate on hand.
Does anyone who might have done such a project in the past have a guess?
Thank you,
Heidi
