All of the items in the Beagle repository are scanned at 300DPI.  I
know this because they are from my personal collection and the site is
operated by me.  For those of you who want you scanned catalogs up
there, let me know and once I finish my other items, I will put them
up. (A re-hash of the site is scheduled for 15-20 April).  At that
time, I will be adding 4 new items from my personal collection.

As for nothing new in a year, I would only say that if nothing comes
in, nothing needs to change.  It is a repository, not a website that
would need to change every week.
