Would there be any interest in a college expedition to transcribe Dr. Hansl's researchpapers to PDF?

Here's the background:
I, as an incoming student to college, am planning to utilize their free project winter semester. In reading about the lost PRL compound and its possible enumeration in the garages' worth of documents in Dr. Hansl's personal effects, I figured that this would be a perfect project for someone with plenty of free time and a grant system in place to give them an incentive to take on an otherwise costly project.
If this project were to take place, I (and probably a few other college students) would be scanning each paper in his effects, uploading the end result as a massive PDF document, and hopefully doing some searching through it to find the relevant process for the substance's manufacture. I'm not sure of the magnitude of the project, but I will be taking the full winter term if necessary, so it could be finished at any time past January 5.
(Side Note: I have his daughter's address and will be asking her about the specific housing and access arrangements well before the project gets underway. I understand that she has already expressed interest in making her father's work accessible to researchers for further study, but that there has been no follow-up. If…

Oh, I mean I've just suggested that we could ask some of the in-house chemist at any noot company to come and look around her papers, I didn't mean anything related to what you're thinking of right now. This was a while back I asked about that.
Would be way easier to talk to you on irc, join when you feel like it (or write here, but I prefer irc).

Speaking of which, what is going on with that? Has she been silent since we last talked?
