Project MEMEX: The Mobilization Memo
A detailed proposal for digitizing a large body of scientific and engineering records.
Field notes
The proposal organizes a large archival campaign as a production system, beginning with box selection and manifests and continuing through custody, scanning, verification, and acceptance. Its working model spans 42 priority groups across nine technical domains, with 150 million planning-page equivalents and 1,272 proposed capture and support roles. Allocations remain provisional: the page says series and box identifiers require NARA validation, and it distinguishes retrieved guides from index-level leads awaiting review.
