NEWSLETTERS!!!

[Benjamin Richards]

Are the Newsletter archives searchable in any fashion?

Unfortunately, no. A manual search is required.

At the very least, the text is searchable once the file is opened. So you can use Ctrl+F to find things, you don't have to read every word. A few years back I led an effort to add searchable text to the older scanned issues that lacked it. The embedded, computer-generated text in those scans is not 100% accurate but it should be "close enough" to find subjects of interest.

Ed, are the Newsletter archives searchable in any fashion, or does one have to look at each issue one by one to find something?

One could download all the newsletters to their local system, then perform searches locally.

Some of the newsletters are just scans.

Some of the newsletters are just scans.

ALL of the Newsletters have been OCR'd (optical character recognition) so that they can be searched and even copied/pasted from. As Ben noted, he helped get that project done and it has been extremely valuable for a variety of reasons.
