Print-to-etext work?

I've been getting several requests for copies of Douglas Lenat's
articles on Eurisko. I have a set of xeroxes, and I suppose I could
rexerox them, but what'd be really useful is an etext version. I really
don't want to type it all up personally, and it strikes me that there
ought to be a better way, so: Does anyone know of a place that does
print-to-etext work? The xeroxes I have curve near the center of the
page - it'd probably require significant human effort in addition to
direct OCR.

If the price is within reach of three or four people, I'll see if we can
club up and make Lenat's papers available online - or, if copyright law
/ Lenat would prevent publication, we could at least quietly distribute
copies among ourselves.
