Perhaps all from you already know this, but I only recently discovered that pdf2djvu converts a searchable pdf into a searchable djvu (t.i. uploads anything from pdf to djvu, active links and metadata too) and I like to share my "discover". Conversion is extremely simple. Unluckily, we use only a little bit of djvu text data - usually only the whole, unmapped text, the only exception being hOCR tool by Phe, that outputs mapped text.

Also to note that User:Dominic was a wikimedian in residence with NARA in the States and had a large number of files uploaded, and components of transcription project for those uploads.. They have their own template at Commons, so you should be able to dig them up.

Hi all,

Wikimedia Nederland has recently approached by several institutions that would like to do uploads of source material. Wikisource would be the preferred platform for this as the material would be searchable (which it wouldn't be if it was only uploaded as pdf to Commons).

I would like to know if there have been previous projects involving large uploads by institutions, and if there's any documentation on how to proceed with these.

Thanks!
