Old Catalog Scanning

While icing down my knees after today's ride (an hour long affair involving beer too) I decided to organize my decades old file box of catalogs. I have about 12+ inches of this stuff starting from the late 1970s and ending in the late 1990s. My initial categories are frame tubing, frame parts, frame tools, frame builders, general parts, design/mag articles, and misc. This will be a long term project and I am still deciding on how to document it all. For now I am thinking about posting to my Flicker. Thoughts? Andy

I like Flickr, seems like a good choice. I wish that had been available when I first started my catalog archive. My website is so primitive in comparison. Uploading all my catalogs to Flickr, creating albums etc seems like too much work, but I may still do it someday, now that I'm retired. But I'm lazy and my current website requires zero work to maintain, so Newton's 1st law pertains.

Just keep backups. Not that I expect Flickr to up and disappear overnight (or lock up your data and blackmail you for it), but we've seen a few different platforms do that in the past (e.g. Wool Jersey, geocities, photobucket) so don't trust anyone as the sole repository.

Thanks for doing this. I look forward to seeing whatcha got.
