What's the Deal with the Gesetzblatt?

1/7/2015

In mid-2014 I announced that I had purchased a set of the Danzig Gesetzblatt (the old Prussian Ministry of Justice collection, as it happens). I thought I would explain briefly why it hasn't been put online yet.

These are very fragile documents and I don't want to subject them to a regular scanner. A neighboring department where I work has one of these clever scanners that they use for their own projects. I have been given permission to use this scanner when they don't need it and that's what I've been planning for the Gesetzblatt. (It's what I used to scan a set of postcards that you can see at the bottom of the page here.) Unfortunately, the scanner needs the attentions of IT at the moment and is unavailable for anyone's use. Once it's back online and there's free time available for booking, I'll get the ball rolling on digitizing the Gesetzblatt.

I'm disappointed that it's taking so long but them's the breaks when you're running a project with a $0 budget! Thanks for your patience.
