The problem with digitizing old Virginia Cavalcade articles is not so much
technical, as it is a rights management issue.  When authors sought
permission to publish the glorious illustrations that accompanied so many
Cavalcade articles, rights holders granted permission for one-time use in a
*print* publication.

Subsequent uses, including reprints or new editions, generally require a new
request, along with whatever fees or conditions apply today.  The research
time to secure those clearances would be a nightmare.  Alas, I loved the
Cavalcade.

digitizing some of the articles from the old cavalcades?  Given some
standards, and a bit of quality control, I bet there are a lot of folks like
me out there in VA-HIST lland who would volunteer to do that.
