Document scanning project
This is still only a template to find a good way to present the data. It will soon be replaced with a more complete list of documents.
The Document scanning project is a project aiming to find out which documents still exists, which documents never existed and which only made it into planning. The numbering of manuals are consecutive so if we know about a ND-10.010.01 and a ND-10.012.01 it is reasonable to suspect there were a ND-10.011.01 too. So this list includes numbers where there are no known manuals or references. In the end this list also lists all known online copies of a specific manual. This helps in prioritizing which manuals should be scanned as well as finding a copy of a certain manual.
This is an incomplete compilation of known literature made by Norsk Data. The missing references are here to easily add the names on a printed out page. This is useful when visiting collectors, institutions or museums where time can be short to record all information.
The list is made up of the major known collections of literature today. It can be automatically generated from a excel script (actually open office, but who cares). Larger additions are easiest sent to Gandalf as a text file, as pictures or in paper form. That way none of the formatting needs to be done manually and it's easy to add more columns if that is required.
Legends
