RAA / AUF magazine archive

Hi Folks,

 

After much delay, I am ready to start scanning all the old AUF/ RAA magazines up until Sport Pilot started. I have turned over all our sheds, houses, boxes etc and am missing the following:-

 

  • Everything prior to 1992 (there must be a box I have missed ...)
     
     
  • 1992 Vol 2 - No.s 1 to 7, 9, 11 & 12 (that box again ..... )
     
     
  • 1993 Vol 3 - No.s 2 (Feb), 4 (Mar), 6 (June)
     
     
  • 1997 Vol 7 - No. 8 (Aug)
     
     
  • 2000 Vol 10 - No.9 (Oct)
     
     

 

 

 

I have everything else to 2016.

 

If you have any of these, and could loan them to me, I would be grateful. Please PM me. The finished high resolution scan will be provided to RAA to be put up on their website. I am about to start a test run of one year, using various software etc. The RAA web developers suggested Abbyy Fine Reader, which is available as a free trial, one magazine per file, one year per folder. If you know of any better software to use with a Brother MFC-J65200W A3 scanner, speak now!

 

The main outcome I am hoping for is a searchable pdf, preferably for the entire library of magazines. One search to find all mentions, including tags (where a photo is of 10-1234, but no caption). I envisage people will be able to search for "Scout" and have a link to all the photos, text & adverts from 1980's to 2011.
