scanning microfiche but I don't think anyone could make it work at

photographer has a new EXPENSIVE digital camera and could probably
photograph these directly.

Maybe I should be more specific. I have access to equipment designed to
scan microfiche and save as a file. Said file can also be ICR'd.
When the auction matures a little bit I'll be bidding. If the fiche
don't go too high in bids and I win, my intent is to scan/icr them and
build a website from the data. If there is too much concern about
copyrights then at least I'll have data that I can share in an easily
transported digital form.
