Free non-DRM ebooks: The Metropolitan Museum of Art back catalogue

[beatrice_otter]

The Metropolitan Museum of Art has put PDFs of all their out-of-print works available for free online.  Bad news is, they're the kind of PDFs that you can't copy the text out of, so if you want to convert to another format you'll have to OCR them first.  Good news is, there's a lot of really cool books there for free.

I have some OCR software installed (OCRFeeder, Gocr, Tesseract, and Cuneiform), but never actually got around to try out any of it. If you (or anyone) is willing to provide advice or help as needed, I may be able to contribute some, and definitely willing.
