Many years ago I came across the work of M.T. Shelhamer, (Life and labor in the Spirit World) but this was via a pdf of scanned page images, and it had not been OCR'd. Recently when I had occasion to refer someone to information on babies and children after death, I found that I had OCR'd three chapters of her work on that subject, and they were really good, especially as finally a location for these young ones was provided in the Spirit Spheres - namely in Summerland.
So I started looking on line and this work has been picked up by a "reprint" specialist by the means of just reprinting page images. And someone created a Kindle based on page images. Both very ugly but still selling for a fair amount. Amazingly I also found the original book available in Australia for $80, and was tempted to buy it. After all it was printed in 1885. A few years back I would have bought it without hesitation. And maybe I will because I find it very tedious reading these scanned page images. But my reason for posting is that I am wondering if I might consider OCRing the book. It would be a lot of work, but maybe its worth it. I certainly thought the three chapters on children were
I decided to buy that First Edition. It's going to be easier to read, so it's worth it for that. Its the ONLY one I have ever found for sale, and getting it in Australia is a bonus.
