I have a Kodak catalogue from 1998. Should I scan it?

I was gifted this catalog. It comes in a cool binder and includes film prices and descriptions for both consumer and professional films. It has a bunch of films I've never heard of, especially slide films.
I was thinking about scanning it (for preservation purposes), but I wanted to see if a scan of this already exists somewhere, so I don't go through all that trouble for nothing.

I'm sure many here would find it interesting, so if you can spare the time, please go ahead!

Check the Internet Archive carefully; it might save you a lot of effort if it already has been scanned.

I agree with everything said, but not being in English will diminish interest -- unless you plan on translating it too!

I was thinking about running it through Google Translate or something like that. I know it's not ideal but it's better than nothing.

I was only thinking that's it's more work than the scanning!

I would leave it as is. Would be great to preserve. Easy enough to translate. Take care of the original

Well, I would upload an original scan as well as the translated one. I definitely wouldn't upload just the translated version.
