As books vary widely in size, and as many of the books on Bitsavers are from
DEC 3-Ring binders it's fairly hard to give a good estimate. Having said
that, I want to say that the Computer History section of the Conner-Bishop
Historical Resource Center is about 24 feet in length and has over 1000
volumes. Many of books the CBHRC has are DEC 3-Ring Binders. The entire
collection (not just the computer portion) is currently in storage while we
are working to get a building.

Anyone know how that compares to the number of books in a typical* library?
* whatever that may be :-) I just can't really get my head around what volume
of space it'd be if it were all printed out... I just noticed that the total size of the
Bitsavers archive seems
to have surpassed 100 Gigabytes in the past few days.
It also went through the 15,000 pdf document mark in April.
