It seems to me there should be a place where people could post copies of 
information that they have.  Ideally, they could scan it in and then 
upload it to a repository.  They ought to be able to put a title on it 
that would appear in an index.  In the best of all worlds, they would be 
able to search on a key word such as Berliner and pull up a list of 
everything with Berliner in the index.  The hard part is when people 
don't have the ability to scan something.  Jpegs are generally very 
difficult to read if they are a document.  In that case someone may have 
to do it for them.  Just some quick thoughts.  Comments??
