Libraries, piano rolls, and computers

[Bob Rasmussen]

Please pardon duplication.

Something I've been wondering... Is anyone aware of any efforts to archive and
preserve player piano rolls, by converting them to electronic form?

These rolls are an interesting precursor to binary data storage, paper tape,
etc. More to the point, I believe the format could be converted cleanly to
MIDI format, with a fairly straightforward scanning device.

Imagine people listening to piano rolls, on headphones, in your library...
