Have you got OCR? That might at least get the "bookshelf"
stuff into machine readable form, even if crude, and avoid
the danger of loss.

Your hard work is much appreciated, and I don't want to add to your 
burdens, but...

Some CPA material is now difficult, or almost impossible, to get at. In 
particular, there's ...
  - OUG/WoTUG Newsletters (including the fair ALT debate, and much else)
  - OUG Tech Meetings prior to OUG-8
    (OUG-7 was a classic, and now unobtainable, except via certain 
people's bookshelves)
  - Transputer Communications.

Wiley might still have electronic copy of TC, and be willing to 
relinquish copyright.
Some of OUG-7 (eg Geraint's material) is available on personal websites. 
CGI-IMAG, who published OUG proceedings before IOS, don't seem to exist 
anymore.

Maybe others have suggestions on how more material can be recovered with 
minimal effort.

All the best
Ian
