Project Runeberg, This is also on our front page, http://runeberg.org/ An important milestone in the digitization of Danish literature was reached on Friday October 7, 2011, with the proofreading and indexing of the last pages of the classic Danish encyclopedia Salmonsens konversationsleksikon (2nd edition, 26 volumes, 1915-1930), http://runeberg.org/salmonsen/2/ The digitization comprises 27,152 book pages and was started in January 2004. The volumes were scanned and OCRed by Lars Aronsson (volumes 1-8 and 26, in 2004-2005) and Joakim Ragnvaldsson (volumes 9-25, in 2008). Dozens of volunteers helped to proofread and index the pages in 43,107 edits, of which 7,553 (17.5%) were anonymous and 34,696 (80.5%) contributed by the four most active volunteers: Pultz (24,520 edits), PH (5289), Steen (2496), and Finn (2391). The index lists 159,123 articles, each linked to the right page. For example, the article on Danish town Kolding starts on page 300, volume XIV, http://runeberg.org/salmonsen/2/14/0324.html As can be seen from the "history" link there, this particular page was scanned on April 14, 2008, and proofread on December 25, 2010, http://runeberg.org/rc.pl?action=history&src=salmonsen/2/14/0324 correcting several OCR errors, as seen from the difference between versions, http://runeberg.org/rc.pl?action=diff&src=salmonsen%2F2%2F14%2F0324&rev2=2&… -- Lars Aronsson (lars(a)aronsson.se) Project Runeberg - free Nordic literature - http://runeberg.org/
