Do you happen to know how much "scribbling" Dorr did; is it present/extensive on most pages?<br /><br />Just pondering the possible ways that the content could be made accessible in a published form (in a fantasy world where funding was no problem). Researchers and completists would of course need everything to be available and searchable online, and I know the practical obstacles to that are enormous (although what an opportunity for really creative presentation via, say, iPad). But I imagine that a collection of annotated excerpts (which I guess would still be pretty huge) might find a readership of its own in the popular history genre. <br /><br />Not suggesting it is likely to happen, just pondering.

By that time I expect the landscape of publishing across various platforms will be quite different in any case.MsGenealogisthttp://whodoesshethinksheisblog.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28102666.post-26436985187206921472011-08-27T22:10:27.770-05:002011-08-27T22:10:27.770-05:00Overwhelmingly, yes.
