-The first stage of the project was to scan all the pre digital magazines to PDF. This stage is almost complete, **with 885 out of 888 (99.6%) of the magazines scanned and available from this site**. There are still three old ones left to track down, and a few pages from random magazines missing, but the scanning process is pretty much complete.+The first stage of the project was to scan all the pre digital magazines to PDF. This stage is almost complete, **with 888 out of 890 of the magazines scanned and available from this site**.

 The second stage is also well progressed. This stage has used optical character recognition (OCR) to convert the PDFs to text. Human intervention is then needed to edit and tidy the text files that are produced. OCR does only a rough job, so a fair bit of manual editing is needed to get the text corrected. This website was originally set up to allow anyone to help edit the text files, but is now being used more widely for storage of club history more generally. The second stage is also well progressed.

-It takes around an hour to tidy up one issue, less for specific articles. Even if you have only a bit of free time to help out, why not give it a go. **As at Jan 202282.2% of the magazines have been completed.**+It takes around an hour to tidy up one issue, less for specific articles.
