A few more sub questions

Any good resources about collecting and preserving these?

If I find a number of obscure ones what’s the best way to scan them in bulk to preserve them

Are there any good tools to convert cursive to print text (I can read cursive but not as well as I’d like, and some of these are very fine cursive writings)

Any other tips I should know?

Thanks!

    It’s a one-time payment for VueScan (https://www.hamrick.com/). It’s been around a long time but still actively developed. It’s Windows, MacOS, and Linux.

    Aw, man, I see now it’s no longer a lifetime-payment option. I have a license from ages ago, so I guess I was grandfathered in.

    It does say you don’t need a subscription. Your one-time payment covers one year of updates. So I guess if you’re happy with the features at the end of the year, you can just stick with that. Maybe do another year if some killer feature is added.
