	With due respect to the last sentence, "doing it yourself" may
not be worth the hassle.
	Were I in your friends position, the first thing I would do
would be to go to a university or major public library and have a
talk with their archiving and conversion specialist.  Whether or not
it is technically or economically feasible, if there is a solution
to this they probably know it and can give you pointers.
