Actually the books are in
ASCII/UNICODE editable format, and we can easily convert them to
pdf or DjVu. Each language version is in different volume.
* Wikimedia Macedonia will sign Memorandum of Understanding with National Library (NL) for this issue. * NL have copyrights for these books and they willing to release them in the public domain under Macedonian laws. * But we are still not very clear with US code. Any advise, assistance or/and help is welcomed.

I look for help how to upload large collection of books, about 130 volumes of books in Macedonian and it's translation in English. If some one have some suggestions how to do it at the best way in short time. Best regards, Dimce Grozdanoski Wikimedia Macedonia Hi Dimce, ==Upload== * Djvu or PDF files with scanned text layers are best. * I am presuming that all works are in the public domain in both the US and the place of publication * (if previous is okay) Files are uploaded to Commons, and we look to use the {{book}} template [1] * There are some reasonable instructions and explanations at English Wikipedia for many aspects.[2] This gets the files in place, and if we have used {{book}} the meta data available ==Local creations== For each work an Index: file will need to be created. Not sure about Macedonian wiki, but for enWS, putting a list of the works uploaded to commons, or pointing to your uploads, and asking for help at "Scriptorium"[3] will elicit assistance. BUT you say Macdeonian and English translations, so presumably both are not on the same scanned page. This adds some complexity, so we need some understanding of what specifically is available. If you the files are big, and/or you have upload issues, then with that many files, they can be burnt onto media and sent to WMF for upload. Note this will take effort and coordination.
