This document describes the technical process used to scan and digitize a run of SHOGI magazines, including converting scanned pages to a QuarkXpress file and then a PDF, noting that the digital format does not match the quality of the original magazines. It also explains that some issues had diagrams spanning center pages, requiring extra pages like 10a to be added in order to properly display the scanned content.

This presentation of the run of 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.
