Abstract
The method of doing retrospective conversion by means of optical scanning and computer formatting is discussed. An historical survey of research in such applications is given as background. Applications, named OSCID, are considered as important for making low priced machine‐readable data representing older material. OSCID applications could be of special interest for information systems within humanities.
