You can scan the cards and convert the contents into text.  It is a pain to
program it, but it works.

Subject: [RM] Punch Cards

Good afternoon.  Please hold the laughter to a minimum...I need to have
approximately 150 punch cards read and related reports generated.  The punch
cards apparently provide detail about records we have with an off-site
storage vendor in the Denver area.  I am attempting to have the cards read
in lieu of flipping lids on a significant number of boxes.
Needless to say since this information is on punch cards, there is a good
chance that the record retention periods have expired.  However, the info
will have to be reviewed first.  Any thoughts on vendors that still may
provide this service?  I have contacted our IT department, once the ridicule
and laughter subsided; I informed them that they should have had a migration
strategy.  They did suggest maybe a disaster recovery services vendor.  I
would appreciate the feedback.

 

Thanks
