While clear out storage spaces I have come across binders of photocopies of lots of old
Apple II game manuals. I've checked online for those that have been scanned already
and will toss those. Before I toss the rest which I haven't found online, I'd like
to scan them and upload to the Internet Archive to save them. Most of these are one page
with a few 2-4 pages. What I'm wondering about is the best way to upload them after
scanning. Do each individually, which adds a lot of entries to my small upload page (which
I suppose isn't a big deal) or zip them up and upload the one file and make sure the
metadata is properly set to identify each manual in the zip. Or some other method?
Suggestions? Thanks, David Williams www.trailingedge.com (http://www.trailingedge.com)

David, simple solution is to scan (to 600dpi tiff) the pages, and zip them
and then change the *.zip to *.cbz (Comic Book Zip) and upload. You could
add a simple cover page listing the titles.
The Book-op process on the IA will produce the downloadable PDF and online
display page/images.
I'd also be happy to also copy the zip/cbz you create and reload as
individual metadata for each of the titles.
Cheers,
Michael

I'm good with uploading each individually, just trying to see which is the preferred
method. Individual or one big "searchable" zip. I have a lot of other similar
photocopies of other doc as well that I'm looking to do besides all the game manuals.
I WILL get the storage space all cleared out and my collection organized... I will... :)
Best, David Williams
