It's hard to justify accepting - but at the same
time the museum is the
logical first port of call for anyone looking for a Computer Shopper mag
(for whatever reason). Having scans of them all solves the problems
nicely...
I urge you to keep the paper copy. Paper is one of the longest
preservable forms of information. Properly taken care of it will last
centurys. Even Computer Shopper with its acid based paper would last a
couple of centuries boxed in a dry environment.
Scans are ephemeral...formats change...and it doesn't work at all
without electicity.
However I would love to have access to a online digital copy. Good
luck in your project.
