An important milestone in the digitization of Danish literature
was reached on Friday October 7, 2011, with the proofreading and
indexing of the last pages of the classic Danish encyclopedia

Salmonsens konversationsleksikon (2nd edition, 26 volumes, 1915-1930),
http://runeberg.org/salmonsen/2/

The digitization comprises 27,152 book pages and was started in
January 2004. The volumes were scanned and OCRed by Lars
Aronsson (volumes 1-8 and 26, in 2004-2005) and Joakim
Ragnvaldsson (volumes 9-25, in 2008). Dozens of volunteers helped
to proofread and index the pages in 43,107 edits, of which
7,553 (17.5%) were anonymous and 34,696 (80.5%) contributed by
the four most active volunteers: Pultz (24,520 edits), PH (5289),
Steen (2496), and Finn (2391). The index lists 159,123 articles,
each linked to the right page. For example, the article on Danish
town Kolding starts on page 300, volume XIV,
http://runeberg.org/salmonsen/2/14/0324.html

As can be seen from the "history" link there, this particular
page was scanned on April 14, 2008, and proofread on December 25,
2010, http://runeberg.org/rc.pl?action=history&src=salmonsen/2/14/0324

correcting several OCR errors, as seen from the difference
between versions,
