Data Archiving

[Gary Roach <gary719_list1@verizon.net>]

Hi all,

I have a records archiving problem and don't know where to start. There 
are 100 years of records that include hand written material, type 
written hard copy, photos and a lot of email. I would like to have a 
system based around mysql (if possible) that would allow flexible data 
mining.

Are there any good books on the subject or existing Debian software that 
would do the job. Any suggestions will be sincerely appreciated. An 
answer of I'm an idiot for even trying is acceptable.

Thanks in advance

Gary R
