An Irish study gives the neat - but high! - estimate that to digitise two years worth of a single newspaper title would take about one year and ten staff at a cost of ~300,000 EUR, of which 10% would be capital investment. I suspect with software automation this could be heavily reduced. www.askaboutireland.ie/resources/OCR_DigitisationAndTranscriptionOfNewspapers.pdf
How much would just raw scans cost?
