Search the PDFs

Unfortunately the search box in the upper right corner does not search through the old newsletters (it only searches the text I’ve typed into the website).

Fortunately Google can search the old newsletter PDFs.

Unfortunately (again) the PDFs look to Google like they’ve got a lot of garbled text in them. This is because Adobe Acrobat (which was used to transmogrify the paper documents into machine-readable electronic files) is an imperfect beast unable to recognize some of the words or fonts of our honoured predecessors. Still, it’s better than nothing.

As noted on the front page of the website, I’m accepting volunteers who’d like to undertake the mind numbing labour of combing through the PDFs to correct Adobe’s OCR (Optical Character Recognition) mistakes.

When in doubt, blame the software.
