Yes, with the right software (Finereader for example) ocr scanning is a very
mature solution of getting text into editable format again.
But you need quality scans or the original paper and a scanner. The 9938
scans made by Sean Young are too low quality for ocr software.
So if someone has good scans or good original or photocopies...

This sounds like a very good initiative. But it will take a lot of (your)
time. Isn't there good software nowadays to read graphics into text (I
think it's called OCR or something, but I never used it) ? It may be worth
checking out...
