Help build the archive
Written by Peter Garver, SABR Staff   

If you'd like to see more of the Baseball Research Journal's archives available here, you can help. All of the back issues are here at the office, and we can scan them.

But scanning isn't enough: when the articles are scanned and processed into text by the computer, they arrive with a good number of errors. Many of these errors leave the text readable, but make the articles hard for computers to search and unsuitable for use in an archive like this one. To make them really useful, they need to be read and corrected by people: fixing scanning errors, making sure tables are formatted correctly, making images viewable, and adding keywords. It's a time consuming process, but it can be rewarding, especially in a situation like this where there is no deadline and the research is valuable.

If you'd like to help build the archive, email me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and let me know. I can send you the automatically-generated text for an article and a copy of the scan to help you proofread.

Getting these articles into this archive will make them easy to search, which is good for SABR and for baseball research. We hope you can help!
