Preserving Old Research Notes and Documents?

Posted by Cliff on from the reclaiming-space-from-unnecessary-paper dept.

twistedcubic asks: "I have several thousand 8.5 x 11 inch dead tree pages of notes and research that takes up too much storage space. I would like to have all these notes scanned into PDF files (for example) so I can recycle the pages and reclaim storage space. Does anyone know of a store that provides this service, or an inexpensive machine that will do the job in a reasonable amount of time?"

    "I have several thousand PDF files taking up too much disk storage space. I would like to have all these files printed on to 8.5 x 11 inch dead tree pages of notes so I can delete the files, empty the recycle bin and reclaim storage space. Does anyone know of a store that provides this service, or an inexpensive machine that will do the job in a reasonable amount of time?"

    For future reference, I suggest a printer.
