This document describes the process used to digitize a collection of SHOGI magazines, including scanning pages into a computer file, laying out pages in QuarkXpress, and converting to a PDF. Some issues posed problems to digitize fully due to center page diagrams and were addressed by adding supplemental pages. The digital format does not match the quality of the original magazines.

SHOGI magazines is achieved by scanning the pages into a computer and then by the production of a QuarkXpress file, which is, in turn, then rendered into a .pdf file with the use of Adobe Acrobat. Clearly the finished product cannot hope to match the actual magazines for quality. Problems were encountered with SHOGI Issues 7, 8, 10, 11, 26 and, to a lesser extent, 34, which all have diagrams covering the middle of the centre pages. This causes a slight problem in displaying the pages in this format and is dealt with by adding an extra page 10a, as here, in each case. With Issue No. 34 pages 10 and 11 appear singly and the map diagram here is necessarily split.
