I have found the tesseract ocr engine to be very accurate with the Free Banking text.  Of course the occasional ff and rn errors will be found, as well as mistakes on en and em dashes (I think that is what they are called).

I have encountered graphs, is there a specific format that these should be converted to?  I was thinking either eps, or SVG.  From eps, any raster format may be exported, however, modern browsers natively support SVG.  As to browser compliance with the whole of the SVG specification, I do not possess this knowledge.

Progress and Commentary:

Graphs question by Stanley kind of hit me as well, after a fashion, as there is an image on page 23 or so of de moneta (a set of coins) that will be interesting to hear how to handle.  Any advice appreciated.  Currently have paragraphed about 40 pages worth of De Moneta.  I know more about British coinage than mortal man was meant to as well.

I'm thinking that we should turn this into a google group for Mises Documents.
